Step into a world where art and nature converge in a display of faux-taxidermy moth and butterfly sculptures.

Red Baraat
Kleinhans Music Hall is pleased to present
Red Baraat
“The album is full of moments that hit with the force of a spiritual awakening…The funk, ska-punk, and other American forms that make their way into the music are layered intricately within the same threadwork as the ragas on which these songs are pulled from. Each piece is a gesture of cultural harmony, rendering not only genre irrelevant, but the geographic placement of those sounds.”
— STEREOGUM
