Lines explores resilience and joy as forms of resistance amid occupation and displacement. Drawing parallels between Irish and Lebanese histories and traditions, the piece weaves together music, video, dance, and the poetry of Khalil Gibran. Lines reflects how cultural traditions evolve through hardship and change by embracing an adaptive and emergent process that blends electronic arts with the folk arts of Sean-Nós and Dabke, reflexively acknowledging the importance of adaptation to our ancestors’ survival and perseverance. Lines invites audiences to consider how we might further adapt by coming together as a global community to ensure freedom and safety beyond imposed borders.

If you love string music that’s virtuosic, globally inspired, and wildly fun live, don’t miss Taarka.
Often described as “a collision between Django Reinhardt and David Grisman,” Taarka blends the precision of a top-tier acoustic string band with the adventurous spirit of a musical travelogue, drawing on flavors of Gypsy and Eastern European folk, bluegrass, old-time, jazz, Celtic, rock, and beyond. Expect soaring vocals, jaw-dropping 5-string violin, and lightning-fast mandolin and guitar, all woven into songs that tell stories and instrumentals that build into irresistible momentum. As No Depression raves: “Their voices sound fantastic together…Enion is a marvelous violin player, and David is her equal on mandolin and guitar.”
Taarka’s calling card is their colorful, high-energy live show, the kind that can shift from intimate and cinematic to dance-floor electric in a heartbeat. Come for the musicianship, stay for the joy, and leave with melodies stuck in your head.
Taarka and its members have performed with members of Old and In the Way, the Grateful Dead, Phish, and String Cheese Incident, and shared stages with Linda Ronstadt, The Decembrists, Darrel Scott, John Cowan, Yonder Mountain String Band, Peter Rowan, Darol Anger, Joe Craven, ALO, Keller Williams, Danny Barnes, Steve Kimock, Taj Mahal, Widespread Panic, The Samples, and Aquarium Rescue Unit, Kaki King, Rob Wasserman, Tony Furtado, The Motet, Dan Bern and The Everyone Orchestra.
