Erie Art Museum Contemporary Music Series Presents Ethnic Heritage Ensemble
Erie, PA, February 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Erie Art Museum Contemporary Music Series presents a special by the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble on Sunday, March 1, 2009 at 7 p.m. in the Erie Art Museum’s Annex, 423 State Street.
Admission to this concert is free; suggested donation $10.
After 35 years, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble is still serving their special brand of 21st century Griot music to people worldwide. The Chicago Tribune writes the trio is “harmonically provocative and rhythmically seductive,” and they consistently deliver jazz that combines ancestral wisdom, exploratory improvisation, and crack musicianship.
The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble features founder and leader, percussionist Kahil El’Zabar (who has performed with Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Henry Threadgill, and Paul Simon); young trumpeter extraordinaire, Corey Wilkes; and the brilliant saxophone of Ernest Khabeer Dawkins.
The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble will host a workshop in conjunction with the Erie Art Museum’s Cabin Fever teacher getaway on Tuesday, March 3, 2009 from 4:30-7 p.m. To register for this event, call (814) 459-5477 or email stephanie@erieartmuseum.org.
