| Lisa Horne-Morgan’s workshop production of “Black Mother Funny” theatre
“When’s
the last time you stood naked in the mirror?” Lisa Horne-Morgan’s workshop
production of her play Black Mother Funny is a bare and revealing
semi-autobiographical journey through life’s contemporary transitions. Supported
by an ensemble cast, BMF says what we’ve been too afraid to say about love, hope
and pain. |
| Piedmont String Band Music: Carolina Chocolate Drops music Series: World Music Institute
The
Carolina Chocolate Drops are leaders in the revival of the old-time black string
band music of the Piedmont region of the Carolinas – a rich banjo and fiddle
tradition that was the antecedent of Appalachian old-time music, bluegrass,
ragtime and blues. The group’s members – Justin Robinson, Rhiannon Giddens and
Dom Flemons – have been acclaimed for their spirited interpretations of this
back porch foot-stomping music that reached its height of popularity in the
1920s and ‘30s. |
