Join us in the garden for a powerful evening of music with Arkinetics, a New York-based quintet blending jazz, West African rhythms, and Indian classical influences. Led by drummer and composer Dan Kurfirst, Arkinetics features an all-star lineup of performers:

Daniel Carter (trumpet, woodwinds)
Alexis Marcelo (piano)
Damon Banks (electric bass)
Roshni Samlal (tabla)
Dan Kurfirst (drumset, compositions)

Together, these musicians create a dynamic sound that moves between meditative grooves and high-energy improvisation. With members who have performed alongside Yusef Lateef, George Benson, Peter Gabriel, and Yo La Tengo, Arkinetics brings a global musical experience rarely heard in the Hudson Valley.

Experience the unique beauty of the Beatrix Farrand Garden as it comes alive with rhythm, movement, and sound. Bring a blanket or chair. Concert begins at 5:00 PM.

This project is made possible, in part, through funding from the County of Dutchess and Destination Dutchess (formerly Dutchess Tourism) and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.
