Highlights

Freedom Songs (suggested for grades 3-Adult)

"The Music of Black History Music has long played such an important role in American culture and history. And yet, perhaps no single population has provided bigger influence on American Music than the African American Community. Bluegrass, Jazz, The Blues, Spirituals--so much of our musical identity as a nation can be traced to this rich heritage. Our desire to educate audiences on this significant part of our history has led us to create this production. This 45-minute production features the talents of two accomplished, professional singers as they trace the highlights of these various musical genres in a kind of timeline revue. We hope that you sit back and enjoy learning about the evolution of music!"
