The sounds of West Africa will fill the hall of Clarksville’s oldest professional theatre one afternoon this month.
The Cumberland Winds celebrates Black History Month with a special concert in the intimate setting of the Roxy Regional Theatre on Sunday, February 23, at 2:00pm.
Organized by Yvonne Kendall and Mike Ritter, this narrated performance of instruments, song and dance will travel through time from West Africa to the Americas — North America, South America and the Caribbean — celebrating the musical influence of African culture in the New World. Performed by the members of the Cumberland Winds and featuring the Woodwind Quintet, the evening will include appearances by guest artists from the faculty of Austin Peay State University and Middle Tennessee State University.
Tickets to the performance are $15 and may be purchased online via the below button, by phone at (931) 645-7699, or at the Roxy Regional Theatre during regular box office hours (9:00am to 2:00pm, Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to the performance).
