World Music at Penn

An Da Union (left) comes to the Annenberg Center’s Harold Prince Theatre at 8 p.m. on February 27. The group of 14 dynamic musicians, singers, and dancers from the semi-autonomous region of Inner Mongolia perform “urtiin duu,” a traditional style of Mongolian love songs that evolved from melodies sung by nomadic herders. This critically acclaimed group echoes the power, excitement, and the haunting beauty of their homeland in each performance. Visit www.pennpresents.org for more information and to purchase tickets.
