ONLINE: International Festival
Madison-based Japanese taiko drumming group Beni Daiko.
This free celebration of cultures usually brings throngs to the Overture Center, but for 2021 International Festival transforms into an online extravaganza. In a way, cheers to us all for going down that road to continue to make these performances available. But the buzz of activity in the theaters and common spaces of the O.C. will be sorely missed (not to mention the food court). Don t miss the MLK Community Choir, UW Russian Folk Orchestra, Roots of Brazil Capoeira, Beni Daiko (
pictured) or the Mad Craic Irish Dance troupe. Even Yid Vicious is doing a set. Find the livestream on the Overture website through March 5; registration is appreciated but not required.
