World Music Institute 40th Anniversary Gala

For 40 years, the World Music Institute has brought the world to New York City stages. No organization has done more to share the live experience of the world's greatest musicians with New York audiences. So it's fitting that in these challenging times for live music, WMI is marking the occasion with a blowout gala. Among the honorees are the original founders of the organization, Robert and Helene Browning.
Enjoy food and drinks, along with live music from Yacouba Sissoko and Arun Ramamurthy, and Merhnam Rastegari with Roshni Samlal, and Camila Celin.
