Hello Friends!
We're documenting a wonderful piece I thought you might be interested in seeing. If your Monday morning is free on 5/14, please join us for about an hour of great music and stories about important women musicians who contributed to American culture. If you're a music lover, this program offers a delightful mix of story and music, juxtaposed with film and narration, singing and live band. If you're a music teacher or teaching artist, this program can provide an example of how to use your art to engage audiences and inspire your work in arts education.We could certainly use an appreciative audience for our filming session.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Blues Women – is a multi-discipline educational program combining music, film, movement and song, while exploring six dynamic blues women that shaped American music. Bessie Smith, Ida Cox, Dinah Washington, Alberta Hunter, Billie Holiday and Mamie Smith will come alive as Lenora and trio perform their songs and tell their stories in this interactive, audience participatory experience. The film installation, created by filmmaker Lana Garland, consists of archival and present day footage which interweaves with the live performance, tracing the contributions of these great women in contemporary music from then to now. Using the genres of Blues, Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Pop, and Hip-Hop, this presentation is suitable for grades 6 through 12 and adults. Created by Lenora Helm Hammonds and Lana Garland.
