Live Jazz at Embrace
FREE concert from Culture Blocks
Sundays are made for relaxing with neighbors and friends…and listening to the soulful rhythms of jazz. Gather ’round Embrace to hear the powerhouse musicians of A Sign of the Times of the Carolinas, a west side nonprofit that aims to preserve the legacy of the African Diaspora. Through music, dance, and the spoken word, Miss Toni Tupponce and Tyrone Jefferson are showing us that we’re all connected through the universality of music.
Sunday, Oct. 15, from 4 to 6pm
Featuring: A Sign of the Times and Los Yaya Latin Jazz Band
Sponsored by ASC’s Culture Blocks – a community partnership funded by Mecklenburg County.
