SUMMARY:Lernazang Ensemble: Revitalizing Armenian Heritage Through Music and Dance
DESCRIPTION:Hosted at Mingei International Museum\nExperience the living pulse of Armenian folk culture through a captivating performance by Lernazang Ensemble\, a collective of musicians\, dancers\, and ethnomusicologists dedicated to preserving and reimagining Armenian music and dance. Featuring the evocative sounds of duduk\, oud\, dhol\, and voice\, alongside Armenian dance\, the ensemble brings to life the music and movement of the region. The group’s approach aims to revitalize Armenian folk heritage by blending deep cultural research with striking artistic expression. \nMembers of the audience are invited to engage with the artists in a Q&A following the performance to learn more about the traditions\, history\, and contemporary significance of Armenian music and dance. \n\n\nTickets\nGeneral Admission: $40 | VIP Seating: $60\nThese concerts tend to sell out. Purchasing tickets in advance is highly advisable. \n\nThis is the final of six concerts in our 2026 Global Stage Passport Series. Click here to subscribe to our newsletter for more information about upcoming events. \n\n\nAbout the Artists\nLernazang is a nonprofit organization\, cultural collective\, and performance ensemble based in Los Angeles. Their mission is to decolonize Armenian dance and music aesthetics while strengthening Armenian cultural heritage in the diaspora. \n \nFounded in 2017\, Lernazang provides community dance classes\, workshops\, and performances throughout the Los Angeles area. Performing in the Armenian azgagrakan style\, Lernazang merges critical academic inquiry and ethnographic research with intergenerational transmission in order to reshape Armenian identity in the post-genocide diaspora. Through an artistic approach that is grounded in both historical perspective and contemporary critique\, Lernazang’s music and dance grapple with current social issues while enriching the cultural landscape of LA. \n  \nArmen Adamian\, co-founder and artistic director of Lernazang\, is a PhD candidate in ethnomusicology at UCLA. His research examines the aesthetic and political dimensions of folk music in the post-Soviet Republic of Armenia. He also designed and taught the first-ever Armenian Music Ensemble course at UCLA\, devoted to the practice and performance of Armenian folk music. He received his MA in ethnomusicology from UCLA\, following a BA in Psychology and a BA in Music Composition from Humboldt State University. \nNatalie Kamajian\, co-founder and dance director of Lernazang\, is a PhD candidate in culture and performance in the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance. She teaches Armenian azgagrakan dance classes throughout the LA area\, including the first university-level Armenian dance course at UCLA. Her doctoral research examines how Armenians utilize dance and performance as a means to negotiate their ethnicity and racial otherness in America. She received her MA in culture and performance from UCLA\, and a BA in international studies from the University of San Francisco. \nConcert Raffle Prize — Win a Mead Tasting for Two\n \nArmenia is home to one of the world’s oldest winemaking civilizations. The Areni Cave\, dated to around 4100 BCE\, is considered the oldest known winery on Earth. Long before wine dominated the feast table\, honey-based drinks held a place of honor across the ancient world\, including in the Caucasus\, where honey appears throughout Armenian folk culture\, cuisine\, and ritual. \nMead itself\, fermented honey and water\, is one of humanity’s oldest beverages\, roughly 9\,000 years old\, and the word echoes across ancient Indo-European languages\, including the linguistic ancestors of Armenian. According to lore\, the tradition of gifting newlyweds a month’s supply of mead is how we got the word “honeymoon.” \nAll of which makes our raffle prize feel especially well-paired. \nThe Prize: A mead tasting for two at Meadiocrity Mead\, a San Diego bee-to-bottle meadery in San Marcos\, crafting award-winning meads from raw honey sourced from their own hives — a true farm-to-glass operation rooted in the same ancient tradition you’ll be celebrating at our concert. \nWhere: 1365 Grand Avenue\, Suite 100\, San Marcos\, CA 92078 \nHow to Enter: \n\nRaffle tickets will be available at the concert.\nYou must be 21 or older and present to win.\nSee our staff at the venue during the reception for details. Read the raffle rules here.\n\nBeneficiary: All proceeds support World Music in the Schools. \nWe’re grateful to Meadiocrity Mead for this generous gift. Good luck! \n\n2026 Sponsors\n\nGlobal Visionaries\n \n\nCultural Ambassadors\n Timothy and Ann Rice  |  Arkal and Vasanthi Shenoy \n\nTraveler’s Circle\n Kat Heldman \n\nFunders\n \nThis programming is supported in part by the American Indonesian Cultural & Educational Foundation\, Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the California Arts Council\, a state agency\, the City of San Diego Cultural Affairs\, and Prebys Foundation.

SUMMARY:Soundscapes of Afghanistan: Tradition Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Hosted at Mingei International Museum \nExperience an unforgettable evening with Qais Essar\, a pioneering Afghan composer and rabab virtuoso who weaves the traditional sounds of the mountainous Hindu Kush region with contemporary global music.

SUMMARY:Expressions of Joy: Festival Music and Dance of Korea
DESCRIPTION:San Diego Korean Pungmul Ensemble\nExpressions of Joy: Festival Music and Dance of Korea\nJoin us for an exciting evening of dance and music inspired by the percussion-centered pungmul traditions of the Korean peninsula. Pungmul (풍물) is a colorful and dynamic Korean tradition of folk performance that features drumming but also includes lively dancing and singing. \nRooted in village culture\, pungmul was originally performed as part of farm work\, at harvest festivals\, and to accompany shamanistic rituals or mask dances. Villagers would come together to play and dance to the rhythms\, expressing solidarity and relieving the hardships of their daily lives. Also known as nongak (farmer’s music)\, pungmul was recognized as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Korea in 1966. \nSince the mid-twentieth century\, new styles of pungmul have been created\, bringing the outdoor tradition to contemporary urban audiences in concert halls. Musicians are now experimenting by fusing the traditional music and dance with different genres\, such as rock\, jazz\, or classical music. \n \nTickets\nGeneral Seating: $20\nVIP Seating: $40 \n \nMingei Members receive a 10% discount. \nThe ticket price includes admission to the performance and access to Mingei International Museum’s Gallery Level ($14 value) after 4 PM on the day of the performance.
