In a city full of galas and other black tie occasions, the National Sawdust gala stands out as something special. The evening's agenda isn't filled with speeches, exhortations and backslapping. Instead, music takes central stage and some of the best singers, musicians and composers working today keep the audience entertained during a marvelous dinner. Highlights (and there weren't any low points) including performances by Helga Davis (National Sawdust artist in residence), a new work by composer and NS artistic director Paola Pristini, and a closing performance by the band Gogol Bordello.
In addition to providing space and support for music composers, National Sawdust has hosted some compelling collaborations between musicians and writers, including the poet Roger Bonair-Agard.
