Caramoor Dancing at Dusk
Wednesday, 5:00pm on Friends Field
Tickets: Adults – $10.00, Children – $5.00
Zetwal is a multicultural dance group that performs traditional Haitian folklore dances with live drumming, Zouk (a French Caribbean social dance) and Soukous (an Angola-based rhythm). On the Island of Hispanola, old traditions, songs and dances (mostly of Congo and Dahomey origin) evolved and mixed with elements of Arawak (indigenous Haitian Indian) and French culture to form a new, uniquely Haitian dance expression. Zetwal will bring their exuberant joy in dance and music making for a night celebrating the beauty of this culture in a way you may never have seen before.
Caramoor is the legacy of Walter and Lucie Rosen who built the luxurious Mediterranean-style villa and filled it with their treasures. Walter Rosen was the master planner for the Caramoor estate, bringing his dream of creating a place to entertain friends from around the world to reality. Their musical evenings were the seeds of the Summer Music Festival of today.
With its outstanding performances, engaging arts-in-education programming, the extraordinary Rosen House, and beautiful grounds, Caramoor is a cornerstone of the cultural life of Westchester County and beyond. Since 1945 visitors have delighted in the exceptional music—from classical to opera to jazz—and the enchanting garden setting that makes Caramoor such a unique and treasured resource. Caramoor is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
