WHY YOU MUST ATTEND: Hearing a lute played is a magical experience, and seeing loops constructed into a total orchestra before your eyes (and ears) is inspiring - but snacking on tasty Indian food while soaking in sitar, tabla and modal harmonies will relax you to the bone.

We'll make it easy on you -- sip hot chai and sample tasty treats from the new Indian restaurant across the street from Zone - Masala Jacks. And did we mention that our events are FREE?
