Summer Rental: Drive East
Drive East is an expansive Indian dance and music festival that features 22 concerts in just one week. In its sixth year, our week long festival will be in New York from August 13 – 19 and San Francisco from August 22 – 26. It is a festival that regularly features some of the best artists of the year (last year The New York Times mentioned two Drive East artists as the top 10 of 2017) and is an immersive experience into the world of Indian classical arts.
