HUDSON HAPPENINGS Jersey City Theater Center Launches Global Music Series with OASIS
Jersey City Theater Center (JCTC) presents OASIS for the inaugural performance of its new Global Music Series on Thursday, November 4, 2021, at 8 p.m. at Jersey City’s White Eagle Hall (337 Newark Ave.). OASIS (Enja Records/ Yellowbird) – Olivier Abbasi Sound In Sound – features award-winning guitarist and 2021 Guggenheim fellow
Rez Abbasi and compelling French harpist Isabelle Olivier joined on stage by New York City-based percussionist Michael Sarin. The experience can be described as a rich, acoustic conversation between harp and guitar, offering unique opportunities in harmony, rhythm, and texture.
Opening for OASIS will be Sylvana Joyce and The Moment.
“OASIS marks the beginning of the Global Music Series for Jersey City Theater Center at White Eagle Hall. It is an honor to welcome Rez Abbasi, renowned composer and guitarist from Pakistan, and Isabelle Olivier, cocreator of OASIS, to Jersey City. Our mission with the series is to highlight the diverse voices from around the globe through a distinctive offering of high-caliber music,” says Olga Levina, JCTC’s executive producer. “OASIS was released just before the pandemic, so we didn’t fully get the chance to present the music to fans. It’ll be exciting to revisit and relive this music because it’s a highly
unique project,” adds Abbasi. Abbasi and Olivier’s White Eagle Hall performance is part of a three-stop East Coast tour beginning at the Maison Francaise, Embassy of France in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, November 3, and concluding with an intimate performance of reduced capacity at jazz club Firehouse 12 in New Haven, CT, on Friday, November 5.

budgets. In just its third year, Art Fair 14C has become the largest and most important visual arts event on the New Jersey calendar. After two years on the Jersey City waterfront at the Hyatt Regency, Art Fair 14C moves in 2021 to an expansive new space - the 40,000 sq ft Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary. Art Fair 14C strives to make art fairs more inclusive, the efforts of which are reflected in the diversity of its exhibitors. Due to the significant expense of participating in traditional art fairs, small and midsized galleries, as well as individual artists, are often left out of this critical opportunity of art sales. 14C’s lower participation costs, targeted community outreach, and accessible application process ensures the fair’s exhibitors represent a wide variety of artistic mediums, styles, and sizes. Several exhibitors will be participating in their first ever art fair, including AKWAABA GALLERY (Newark, NJ), 4 Flavors Art Gallery (Montclair, NJ), Office Space (Salt Lake City, UT), and more. The Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary is surrounded by dramatic natural light on the north, south and west sides and features 15-foot-high hanging space, making it an ideal location to display and experience art. The airy layout, furnished by FB International, was designed with social distancing and safety for all exhibitors and attendees in mind. The fair will
also feature five installation spaces, allowing the fair to include unique, immersive art installations for the first time. “Mana Contemporary is committed to supporting Jersey City’s cultural organizations and artist community. We are delighted to partner with Art House Productions’ Art Fair 14C and for it’s 2021 edition to take place in our premier Glass Gallery venue. We look forward to welcoming both area and international artists and galleries and continuing to celebrate Jersey City’s expanding cultural reach,” says Catherine Sippin, Director of Operations, Mana Contemporary.
