The celebrated music collective OneBeat returns to The Atlantic Center for the Arts for their annual residency program! Join this extraordinary group of 25 musicians, who hail from every corner of the world, as they close their ACA residency with a night of freshly-minted global music. They are featuring organic mashups of traditional songs from Mongolia and Macedonia, the “future kwaai” of southern Africa, music of the pulsing streets of Karachi, Pakistan – all infused with the magic of the Florida mangroves!

  • No physical tickets have been issued or will be collected. In case of rain, we will move to the Black Box Theater and will use a printed list for guest check-in.
  • We are anticipating standing room only and suggest you arrive a little early to find a seat.
  • Beverages will be available in the Pabst Visitor Center including: water, beer, wine. A suggested cash donation will be posted.  OneBeat Merchandise will also be available for purchase.
  • This event will be outdoors so please, dress appropriately and use your bug spray!

OneBeat is a musical journey like no other – it’s a chance for adventurous musicians from wide and diverse traditions to seek common ground, create new musical mixtures, push the boundaries of music technology, find ways to involve all members of society in the creative process, and engage in people-to-people diplomacy. This year’s Fellows hail from Algeria, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, India, Jordan, Lebanon, Madagascar, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Senegal, South Africa, Ukraine, the United States, and Zimbabwe. We are so proud to host this amazing group of talented musicians. OneBeat has generously offered to perform at the Timucua White House, at ACA Exposed, and at a concert at the end of their residency. The musicians are also planning community outreach programs at the Babe James Center, NSB Middle School, and Oceanview Nursing Home.
