Join us for Rhythm and Roots, a special Live from the Lawn event at the Hawaii State Art Museum on First Friday on February 5th from 6 to 9 p.m. This event celebrates Black History Month and features an array of music that represents some of the innumerable contributions African-Americans have made to our rich culture. Gospel, Blues, R & B, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Slam Poetry will be featured.
The lawn program begins with the Iolani School Tam- Young Jazz Combo, established as an additional performing ensemble in the stage band program, and emphasizing jazz improvisation and literature in a small group setting. Performing next is the Trinity Missionary Baptist Church Gospel Choir.
