Babar & Friends

0 upcoming performances in New York

At the Milton G. Bassin Performing Arts Center, *Babar & Friends* is presented as a cross-genre concert program that brings Latin orchestra writing, choral sound, and pop songwriting into the same room. The two-time Grammy–winning Spanish Harlem Orchestra, directed by Oscar Hernández, appears alongside singer-songwriter Santiago Cruz and the Queens College Choral Society, with additional featured performers including Miguel Anggelo, the Queens Symphony Orchestra, and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra. The format reflects New York’s long habit of letting traditions meet on shared stages, from conservatory choruses to dance-band lineups. One clear strength is the way the bill treats collaboration as structure rather than decoration.
