On June 15th Special performances, sponsored by Councilman Erik Martin Dilan and The Brooklyn Arts Council, started a run at the center. The series kicked off with a rousing concert by the Dixie Rascals in the ballroom, and continued with a variety of performers offering entertainment from a wide variety of artistic influence. The lineup of performances included Dixieland Jazz, Korean Dance, Andean Music, African Music & Dance, Modern Percussion Music, Polynesian Dance and Chinese Theatre performances. Audience participation was part of most of the events.
Here are some photos of those performances. Click on thumbnails to see the larger images. Also, where available, there are links to hear the music or watch videos of the performers.
