ILLARI
Illari is a project born from transition, rooted in resilience. Created by Peruvian percussionist Angel Lau after a canceled Fulbright dream, Illari is a personal and musical response to the longing for connection—with home, with ancestry, and with community. Drawing from Afro-Peruvian, Brazilian, Congolese, and jazz traditions, the music is danceable, spiritual, and deeply grounded.
Named after the Quechua word for “sunrise,” Illari carries the energy of new beginnings—an offering of joy, rhythm, and hope in the face of uncertainty. It’s a celebration of movement, memory, and the power of showing up fully.

Odetta Hartman with LETZ
​
With a heart-stopping voice & wide- ranging instrumental talent, Odetta Hartman carries cowboy soul into an era where country can clash with computers & bluegrass isn’t afraid of bass.
Born & based between downtown Manhattan & the Western Catskills, Odetta's futuristic folk music offers a soundtrack for journeying the Appalachian trail via spaceship - incorporating badass banjos, experimental field recordings and cinematic orchestral arrangements.
When accompanied by Hudson Valley trio, LETZ, original live sets lean into Judaic roots, rhythms and traditions. Conceived as a klezmer ballet by composer and fellow Bard College alum, Perry Foster, this new project has interdisciplinary ambitions to incorporate film, dance & theater.
