Flushing Town Hall

Experience the Tuvergen Band and the distinctive musical and cultural traditions of Mongolia, with its deep connection to the natural world. Come and hear for yourself how the country's traditional music reflects the sounds of wind, water, animals, and the expansive grasslands of the steppe. At the heart of this tradition is throat singing (khöömii), a mesmerizing vocal technique in which a single voice produces multiple tones at once, echoing the layered harmonies of the surrounding environment.
Tuvergen Band features Tamir Hargana, an award-winning throat singer and multi-instrumentalist; Naizal Hargana, a master of the morin khuur who was principal and leading soloist of the Inner Mongolian Youth Choir’s Morin Khuur Ensemble and is known for bridging Mongolian and Western styles; and Brent Roman, an ethnomusicologist and former Cirque du Soleil performer whose global drum kit and didgeridoo add rich texture to the group’s “modern nomadic music”.
Throughout the program, audiences will have the chance to try basic vocal techniques and rhythm exercises. Flushing Town Hall teaching artist Ling Tang will also join the band, improvising with their music while demonstrating essential Inner Mongolian dance movements such as horse-riding steps and the use of unique props like chopsticks and wine cups. Together, they will lead everyone in a lively grassland-inspired music and dance finale, a joyful dance party. This event was originally offered as part of FTH's 2026 Lunar New Year programming.

Queens World Film Festival and FTH Present Prideful Poetry

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free. Juneteenth, as it's now known, is celebrated annually to honor the end of legal enslavement in the United States and a tradition of gathering, remembering, and telling the truth and stories about how we arrived in this moment.
Flushing Town Hall marks the holiday with an evening of storytelling and song led by April Armstrong,&nbsp;actress, singer, and National Storytelling Network award winner whose work has long centered the histories and voices of the African diaspora. Armstrong draws on folk traditions, spirituals, and the oral storytelling forms that have carried Black history across generations. She will be joined by a trio of musicians: Mario E. Sprouse (piano/keyboard), Ayodele Maakheru (guitar and banjo), and Napoleon Revels-Bey (drums).
All are welcome. We hope to see you there.
