About this Series:
Beginning in the 1910s and 1920s, the Rondo Community experienced a social and cultural boom. Music and theater flourished. African-American churches, businesses, and schools set down roots, creating a strong community. The construction of Interstate 94 between 1956 and 1968 cut the community in half, displacing over 700 residents –fracturing Rondo’s identity as a cultural center.
The Rondo Community Music Series was created to celebrate the community were Walker|West was born, and to offer our contribution to the musical and cultural boom of the Historic Rondo / Summit-University area. For 3 years we’ve offered world-class musicianship, sensational vocalists, poignant poets, and more!
With the support of the Harlan Boss Foundation for the Arts the series is back for year 3. We will still offer the opportunity to watch (and re-watch) these shows virtually, with some opportunities to gather in-person.
…
Mission: Walker|West creates a music learning community rooted in the African-American cultural experience, where people of all ages and backgrounds can gather, explore and grow through music.
