Experience a musical journey beyond all borders with a stunning performance by Tarim Uygur Song and Dance at the SCA!
The 19-member ensemble from the Cultural Bureau of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Western China, will take the stage at 7:00 pm.
A feast for the eyes and ears, the group preserves their rich, ancient Chinese culture through spectacular music and elegant dance, but also works to collect forgotten melodies and create new works built on old traditions.
The group will transport you to spice markets, deserts, and exotic stops along the Silk Road during its performance.
Saugatuck was selected as one of only nine Midwestern cities to host Tarim Uygur Song and Dance as part of the 2011-13 Arts Midwest World Fest and is the only partner community chosen in Michigan.
Arts Midwest, a regional arts organization based in Minneapolis, offsets much of the cost and handles the coordination of Arts Midwest World Fest tours in order to offer communities throughout the Midwest this rich international arts experience.
A program of Arts Midwest, the 2011-13 Arts Midwest World Fest cycle is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, 3M Foundation, and MetLife Foundation. Additional support is provided by the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China in support of Tarim Uygur Song and Dance, and the Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest in support of Yamma Ensemble. This activity is also funded, in part, by the Minnesota State Arts Board through the arts and cultural heritage fund as appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the Legacy Amendment vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
Arts Midwest World Fest is also generously supported by Illinois Arts Council, Indiana Arts Commission, Iowa Arts Council, Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, Minnesota State Arts Board, North Dakota Council on the Arts, Ohio Arts Council, South Dakota Arts Council, and Wisconsin Arts Board.
