This year, The Village Trip is proud to welcome musical scholars and composers from twelve countries to give talks, demonstrations, lecture recitals and concerts touching on American Primitive and those "inventors of genius" who changed the conversation. Come be part of it.

Achรฉ! Bobby Sanabria & Ascensiรณn
Teatro Latea at The Clemente 107 Suffolk St, (Second Floor), New YorkCancelled: Due to New York City building work which has badly overrun, The Clemente, of which the Latea Theater is a part, will now be closed until late September. Sadly, it has proved impossible to relocate this concert at such short notice and we now have no option but to cancel. We at The Village Trip are as disappointed as we know you will be, but we do hope to present Bobby Sanabria and Ascensiรณn, and Antoinette Montague, at the Latea sometime soon. We hope to see you at other festival events.
