America's Musical Melting Pot
JUNE 12, 2008 THURSDAY AT 3PM CT

 
  One of New York City’s most venerable institutions, the Center for Traditional Music and Dance, just held a festival and put out a CD in honor of its 40th anniversary. Starting with Balkan immigrants in the Bronx, the Center now spans traditions from all over the globe, bringing age-old enemies side by side on the same stage. Talk about diversity!

Guest
  • Ethel Raim, co-founder and artistic director of the Center for Traditional Music and Dance
  • Pete Rushefsky, executive director of the Center for Traditional Music and Dance
