Community brief: Music show, workshop planned

Posted on January 22, 2009 by Staff

The Orange Charter School will receive an Arts in Education Grant from the Orange County Arts Commission to celebrate Black History Month and support the living legacy of African-American musicians from the old-time string band and blues traditions in Orange County.

The two-part program, called “Roots & Strings,” will feature the Piedmont Blues on Feb.6, as performed by John Dee Holeman, and the Old Time Fiddle on Feb. 11, as performed by Carolina Chocolate Drops member Rhiannon Giddens.

Both programs will have a hands-on workshop component for students studying stringed instruments, followed by a performance for all middle school students.
