What is globalFEST?
globalFEST’s is a beloved annual multi-stage event in David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center that gives audiences an opportunity to travel around the world through the venue’s unique spaces to celebrate the wonders of a world brimming with music that’s both innovative and deeply rooted.
