For the second year, the Cumberland Winds is celebrating Black History Month with a special concert in the intimate setting of the Roxy Regional Theatre on Wednesday, February 23, at 7:00pm.
This year’s theme, “Seeking Our Soul,” takes a journey through musical styles from traditional spirituals to jazz and classical styles, identifying points of connection throughout.
One featured work is “Suite Spirituale” by Clarksville-born and internationally recognized composer Clarence Cameron White.
