Students from Kazakhstan, Egypt, Mexico, Fiji, Spain, Zimbabwe, Uzbekistan, Tanzania, France, and Bangladesh showcased their country's art and culture. Under the direction of tabla teacher and renowned tabla player, Mr. Avirbhav Verma, this musical evening was filled with beautiful art forms from various countries. 

The gong was introduced, and the sound of a glass and spoon striking each other began the program. Daniel, Sahil, and Valentina performed guitar, accompanied by Nuru, which the audience appreciated. Following this, students from the aforementioned countries performed songs and dances from their respective countries, captivating the audience with their unique performances.
