‘The Space For Music’ is in Montclair

The Space For Music

There’s an art gallery on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair called The Space Gallery. Its Director, Naz Botas, has instituted a new live music series—heavy on worldbeat—called “The Space For Music” which debuted last Saturday with percussionist-composer-educator April Centrone and her Neesan ensemble performing psychedelic versions of folk-rock from Lyria, Israel and Lebanon. On May 12, the duo of Grammy-winning percussionist Glen Velez and guitarist-mandolinist-composer John Ehlis will perform. On June 21, Falsa will grace the stage with their ancient folkloric Sufi melodies and rhythms from South Asia. Seating capacity is a mere 40, translating to an intimate sound encounter.
