Founded in 1973, w88 slot online Honey has performed at every conceivable major world stage, on international U.S. embassy tours, before Former President and Mrs. Obama at The White House, and at the National Memorial Service for Nelson Mandela at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The band has been the subject of PBS televised programs; symphonies, orchestras and even the Alvin Ailey American Dance Company have commissioned the group for original compositions and scores.
The original members drew the band’s name from the first song they chose to perform together, “w88 slot online Honey In The Rock,” which refers to a biblical passage that speaks of a land so rich that honey flows when rocks are broken. Founding member Louise Robinson explained, “And we thought it was something like us African-American women… strong like a rock, but inside [there’s] honey – w88 slot online.”
“The band’s 24th recorded album, ‘Love In Evolution,’ clearly articulates the ensemble’s very forward-thinking as an organization, constantly reevaluating how we can express concepts to uplift and create change through our music and concerts,” Carol Maillard, another founding member, said.
The Performing Arts w88 slot online will conclude its 60th anniversary season with a live virtual performance featuring rising star jazz vocalist, Michael Mayo on Thursday, April 22 at 6 p.m. PT.
“Each performance this season includes something more intimate and engaging than we traditionally would have planned for in a pre-Covid context,” Program Manager at the School of the Arts, Shoshana Zeldner, said. “We’re able to connect with our audience and performers in a much more personal way. By joining us at a virtual event, you’ll support the Performing Arts w88 slot online and ensure performing artists across the world keep sharing their talent and inspiration with all.”
In addition to the Performing Arts w88 slot online, the School of the Arts presents the Reno Jazz Festival and Lake Tahoe Music Camp as well as world-class visual art exhibitions, musical performances, theatre productions, dance concerts and public arts events presented by the departments of Art, Music, and Theatre and Dance. The School’s degree programs provide a strong foundation in a range of artistic disciplines, enabling students to contribute as artists, educators and scholars at the local level and beyond. Finally, the School, as well as the College of Liberal Arts, encourage broad campus and community participation in the arts through its numerous performances, lectures, exhibitions, core courses and outreach activities that explore diverse cultures and encourage lifelong learning.
