From April 28 to May 14, 2006, the first annual Upper West Fest, sponsored by Zabar's will be a two-week showcase of the best in the arts between 72nd and 116th Streets. Confirmed participants so far include almost a dozen prominent organizations. The Global Rhythms series is a blend of native musical idioms with the sounds of international pop music and Cinema 360° is an 8-week seminar in the newly-designed and intimate Thalia Studio, hosted by film curator Fabiano Canosa, and featuring acknowledged and unsung masterpieces and controversial works. In addition, Jane Fonda will be one of the featured guests (as she reads from her autobiography) in Selected Shorts, Symphony Space's literary program. A number of other events and series are also lined up, but are too numerous to list.
