Something very special is happening at The Ritz this coming Saturday evening, February 21st. My dear friend, Phil Morrison, along with a group of talented musicians will pay tribute to the great Duke Ellington and The Harlem Renaissance.
This event continues the celebration of the rich African-American history we have in Coastal Georgia. The Big Read features “Their Eyes Were Watching God”, by Zora Neale Hurston, an author who was part of the renaissance that spanned from 1918 into the early 1930’s. So many African-American authors, musicians and artists made their mark during this important era.
The music of Duke Ellington and other musicians who came to the fore at the time will be celebrated in this wonderful concert!
For information on the event go here: http://www.goldenislesarts.org/. Tickets are only $15.00 for members and $10.00 for senior member if ordered ahead of time. Non-member tickets are $20.00 and $15.00 for seniors. Tickets will be available at the door for an additional $5.00 per ticket as well. Click on the link to order on-line today!
Mr. T and I are planning a night out! Won’t you join us in supporting Golden Isles Arts & Humanities? It all begins at 8:00….see you there!
