Curators Meera Dugal and Yacine Boulares join us alongside cellist/singer/songwriter Nesrine, who will be making her U.S. premiere at the festival with shows on October 5 and 6. Boulares, a saxophonist and composer, will also perform with his quartet on October 3 and 4. The full festival runs October 1 through 7.
