- Lively Arts Presents “Niyaz, featuring Azum Ali”
8:00–10:00 p.m., Gorell Recital Hall, second floor of Sutton Hall

multimedia experience is a natural evolution for a group of people who is always aiming to redefine the boundaries of tradition in order to unite people from different cultural and spiritual backgrounds through our shared humanity.
