Harmony of Heritage: A Celebration of Black Music in History
March 1, 2025 7:00pm @ IUK, Havens Auditorium
This is a unique concert in the history of the Kokomo Symphony Orchestra and the Kokomo Symphonic Society. The Harmony of Heritage brings together our performing arts organization with multiple choirs from the area to celebrate music by Black composers and performers to celebrate Black History month.
We are featuring the Symphony No. 1 - The Afro-American Symphony by Black American composer William Grant Still, a piece written in the classical idiom but with elements of jazz, blues, and gospel with an emphasis on celebrating down-to-earth roots of this American music.
Our collaboration on this same concert brings together Second Missionary Baptist Church, its Gospel Choir, and other members of the Kokomo choral community in a massive community event that is designed to connect our community through the love of music. We will include performances of Gospel choir music accompanied by orchestra for a rousing concert that complements the roots-based music of the Afro-American Symphony.
