In the late 1800s, immigrants from the Arab World began settling in lower Manhattan. Their entrepreneurial spirit transformed the neighborhood, which came to be known as Little Syria, into a thriving community lined with shops, restaurants and coffeehouses, each furnished with signs written in their native Arabic. Here Arab Americans raised their families, educated their children, formed religious and community organizations and gradually became part of the life of New York. Although razed to make way for the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel and later the World Trade Center, the impact of this community resonates in the current Arab American community of New York and the dozens of similar communities nationwide. This exhibition documents the life of this immigrant community, recognizing Little Syria’s contribution to the city of New York, its connections to the Arab World, and its legacy across the United States.A series of public programs including walking tours, lectures and a poetry reading.

Peter Yarrow is best known as part of the 60's folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary. But, whether part of the trio or solo, his decades of performances reflect music of conscience. His talents are directed at using music to convey a message of humanity and caring.

Bethany is the daughter of Peter Yarrow, so we expect that she'd have a sense of the folk tradition, but what she does with and to that tradition is nothing short of brilliant. She has the rhythmic sensibility and depth of feeling to call forth the jazz and blues tradition and the breadth of textures to take a listener around the world. Then there's Rufus Cappadocia's five-string cello - played pizzicato, jazz style and bowed, incorporating the bass range and world music rhythms. It's a perfect chemistry.
