Join us as for some globally rooted jazz and summertime steel-drum vibes at our annual African American Music Month Celebration. Hosted by Emcee and Virginia Youth Poet Laureate, Doran Glass III, Mosaic Steel Youth Orchestra will ignite a global summer-by-the-sea vibe with their steel pan rhythms and lively tunes followed by this year’s headlining performer, Virginia Commission for the Arts Artist, Plunky & Oneness. Plunky brings his signature blend of Afrobeats and Jazz to the Virginia Beach stage after returning from a trip studying and sharing music on the African continent. He and the band overflow with musical influences sure to generate some infectious grooves. Collectively, these performers have appeared on stages around the world from the US, Trinidad, and even the World Cup, with artists like Ben Vereen, Patti LaBelle, Ray Charles, Frankie Beverly & Maze to name just a few. Performance includes a brief intermission with refreshments.
This Virginia Beach History Museum program is presented in collaboration with Princess Anne County Training School/Union Kempsville HS Alumni Association, Virginia Wesleyan University, Teens with a Purpose.
