Sat. May 17th, 6pm - 9pm: Brian Prunka / New York Oud Festival (More info...)

The New York Oud Festival is a celebration of the Middle Eastern short necked lute, which has roots going back thousands of years. The festival doesn't go back quite that far - this year's edition is the second annual. But it does include nine concerts in venues all around New York City between May 21 and May 31, Brian Prunka, who NY Music Daily calls "one of New York’s most eclectic, interesting oudists" leads an ensemble in his festival performance May 30 at Jalopy in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and he'll join us to introduce the festival and to do some solo playing.
