Multicultural Arts Center presents "Nocturnes" [07/05/25]

Nocturnes

The Multicultural Arts Center will host a one-night performance of Nocturnes, an ode to the elegance, drama, and mystery of the evening. The concert features singer and composer Shira Laucharoen, who will introduce original, musical theater inspired works, as well as classic Broadway selections. Actor Fady Demian will also take the spotlight, regaling audiences with iconic showtunes. The two performers will be accompanied by Lauren Roberts and Sakurako Kanemitsu. Singer Chloe Gardner and pianist Sophy Gao will also appear.

"We imagined 'Nocturnes' as a unique collection of lullabies, ballads, and elegies that evoke questions and tell distinctive stories," said Laucharoen. "I’m thrilled to be bringing together a lineup of artists who will showcase the beauty and depth in our shadows."
