Protest Music for Social Change: The Diane Monroe Jazz Septet

There will be a short opening lecture by special guest, TBA, followed by a performance/open rehearsal, a talk-back, and reception with light refreshments. Performing artists: Diane Monroe, violinist; Paul Jost, vocalist; Germaine Ingram, dancer; Charlotte Blake-Alston, storyteller; Tony Miceli, vibraphonist; Lee Smith, bassist; Francois Zayas, drummer.
