Events at this location

Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation (Ra-Ve) is well-known across the arts landscape of Northwest Arkansas for providing classes, training, and musical events for all who are interested in the music and dance traditions of classical India. The Master Concert series is the ultimate expression of that vision. Join us as we celebrate these ancient, lustrous—and highly entertaining—arts!

Rukmini Vijayakumar, renowned Indian choreographer, Bharatanatyam dancer, and actress, joins us in the Event Center at the Fayetteville Public Library for a special presentation of Ishwara: A Journey to The Self, an original work of theatrical dance magic conceived and developed in memory of Rukmini’s father, K Vijayakumar. Rukmini is currently on tour with Eppo Music, but she has made a special place for Ra-Ve with this concert, the only one she has scheduled outside of that tour. Thank you, Rukmini!

Accompanied by her ensemble of voice, nattuvangam, mridangam, and flute, Ishwara: A Journey to The Self is the breathtakingly best of contemporary Indian music and dance!

This event will be followed by our Annual Fundraiser. Tickets are sold separately for the fundraiser which includes food, a DJ dance floor, giveaways and much more.
