This is the first concert of the 2025 Center for World Music concert series Echoes of Time.

La Jolla Community Center

Join us for an evening with Julian Kytasty, whose playing of the bandura, Ukraine’s national instrument, evokes haunting memories of Russian and Soviet suppression of Ukrainian national identity. Julian’s singing of epic songs and his playing of free improvisations and modern world music blend tradition with innovation to reveal the bandura’s expressive depth.

Following the performance, we’ll invite you to take part in a Q&A session with Julian to gain insight into his creative process and the remarkable journey that has established him as a leading bandurist.

Join us Monday-Friday from 3pm-6pm for drink specials!

No food specials. HH will not apply to any reserve or allocated pours and will not be offered during holidays or special events. 

The GRAMMY Award-winning Third Coast Percussion has commissioned international tabla superstar Zakir Hussain to compose a major new work that blends the sounds of tabla with a classically trained percussion ensemble. A shared spirit of collaboration and curiosity reverberates among the five artists who will share the stage for the first time as part of a special double bill concert presentation.

Part of Third Coast Percussion’s 20th Anniversary season, this tour also brings new works by Jessie Montgomery, Jlin, and Tigran Hamasyan, with multiple premieres including at Carnegie Hall.
