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.
