Black Violin at the Wharton Center

  • The Wharton Center, Cobb Great Hall 750 E Shaw Ln, East Shaw Lane East Lansing, MI, 48825 United States (map)

This month, we're linking up with The Wharton Center and GEAR UP to support Black Violin.

AOTA Griots and Instructors will provide workshops for all the 9th-grade classes in The Lansing and Waverly School Districts.

These workshops will initiate conversations, give an intro to Black Violin, and are designed around music being a form of self-expression. 

Then, on Feb 28th, they will have the opportunity to see Black Violin at the Wharton Center.

Get your tickets now to see a this phenomenal show!
