About

Across cultures and throughout history, music has brought people together to communicate, reflect, and connect. Part community concert and part participatory rhythm session, this event welcomes everyone-no experience required-to join in a shared civic act through sound. Enjoy performances by Corey Harris, Rain Man, Chi Amen Rah, the Albemarle High School Drum Line, and more. Bring a drum or percussion instrument if you have one-some will be available on site-or simply join in with your hands.

This session is produced by the Karsh Institute of Democracy in partnership with The Front Porch.
