Internationally Renowned Mongolian Band Anda Union to Perform at Ashokan Center March 28 - Dynamic 9-Piece Band Known for its Music About Nature, Family and Mongolian Life

OLIVEBRIDGE – The Ashokan Center is delighted to announce that on Friday, March 28, Anda Union, the award-winning festival headliners from Inner Mongolia will be in concert at the The Ashokan Center, 477 Beaverkill Rd., Olivebridge. This is the first appearance of the nine-piece band in Upstate New York since they were formed 25 years ago.

Band members describe themselves as “music gatherers” who play a variety of Mongolian songs and styles aimed at reinvigorating their culture at home and sharing it internationally. They make their own traditional clothes and bring humor and storytelling to concerts that include tunes that range from mournful to horse-galloping raucous.

"We are incredibly honored that Anda Union will be gracing our stage on their U.S. Tour,” says Ruth Ungar Merenda, Director of Community Events at The Ashokan Center. “We look forward to hearing the room fill with their electrifying and deeply rooted music."

What people are saying about Anda Union:

“This might seem hyperbolic, but Anda Union might have been … the most transformative musical experience I’ve ever had.” - Connect Savannah

“This friendly bunch of established musicians … were a hit with the crowd, who clapped for more throat-singing, horse-head fiddle playing, and music about what matters most: nature, horses, your beloved, family bonds, and heritage.” - Ethnomusicologist, Wesleyan University
