Bright Star Touring Theatre, a national professional touring theatre company based in Asheville, NC, will offer a free performance of “Freedom Songs: The Music of Black History” on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 11 a.m. at the Alston-Massenburg Center, 416 N. Taylor St.
From the soulful work songs sung in the fields during slavery, through the rhythms of Ragtime and Jazz, to the powerful voices of R&B and the spirituals that fueled the Civil Rights movement- this play traces the vital role of music in the journey of Black Americans. It's a moving story of resilience, resistance, and hope, told through the soundscape of history. No cost to attend. First-come, first-seated. This event is supported by a grant from the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County.
Location
This performance will take place at the Alston-Massenburg Center.
