Skirball Concert Series

From Brittany Lambertus, publicist at Rock Paper Scissors, here’s info about the Skirball’s Summer concert series:
Each week, the Skirball Cultural Center presents a new world music artist in an effort to connect people to one another and share their many different cultural heritages.
“Though many think of the Skirball as a primarily Jewish organization, our mission is about inclusion.
- Jordan Peimer, Skirball Director of Programs
And in their fourteenth year, they’ve really learned how to please a crowd. Putting a heavy focus on booking groovable music and creating an atmosphere welcoming the dance floor fanatics, the organization is dedicated to delivering the perfect outdoor concert.
“People like to be outdoors and move. So we offer something that people can get involved in and really dance to. It’s festive and boisterous.” - Yatrika Shah-Rais, Skirball Music Director
