A Conversation with Jazz Artists
a DhvaniOnline zoom event
As part of an initiative to promote a better understanding of Black Lives Matter and to create opportunities for interaction with the African American community, Dhvani is proud to present this virtual event in collaboration with the musicians of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra.
The trumpet virtuoso Byron Stripling will join us to share music and stories about the relevance of music to the civil rights movement and much more.
