On Friday evening, I ventured to Espanola for a special event at the ashram called "Praising the One! Sacred Music and Chants from the Jewish, Catholic, Vedic, Sufi, and Sikh Traditions." Before the music, there was yoga, a vegetarian Indian dinner, tea, and general socializing. People were very nice. The first part of the performance featured singers and musicians from each faith. The second part had all the groups onstage together - apparently they had been rehearsing for weeks so that the faiths could intermingle the songs.
Here's a photo of the "musical unity" performance and a brief music clip (there is no video, just audio). Sorry if it sounds a little garbled in spots - its always a toss up between file size and sound quality! But you'll get the general idea.
This is the website for the ashram and the event flyer is still shown at the bottom of the page: http://www.espanolaashram.com/pages/
