SPRING2017

March

FebruarySpringtime at N.C. A&T will bring violinist Tami Lee Hughes and nationally renowned jazz artist Kenny Garrett Quintet.

Tami Lee Hughes in her rendition of “The Legacy Show.” Critics rave that Hughes “rises to considerable technical challenges, playing with sound reminiscent of Perlman.” Since making her debut with the National Symphony Orchestra, she has extensively toured the United States, Europe and Central America, championing the music of African-American composers. Her solo album, “Legacy: Violin Music of African Composers,” was heralded as one of the top 10 albums of 2011 by all Music Guides, garnering acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Nothing or no one can compare to the sounds of this musical genius! Come and experience what others have heard and boast about, the music of Tami Lee Hughes, a cultural odyssey. Uncommonly great! Thursday, Feb. 23, at 7:30 p.m. in Harrison Auditorium.

In March, the Lyceum Series will end the 2016-2017 season of “Musical Diversity” with jazz great KENNY GARRETT QUINTET, premier saxophonist with a 30-year stellar career of fantastic music. This jazz giant has become the preeminent alto saxophonist of this generation. Having performed with the Duke Ellington Orchestra through his time spent with such music greats as Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Art Blakely, the Jazz Messengers and the ever comparable Miles Davis. Please join us for the Lyceum Series closing act Kenny Garrett Quintet. Harrison Auditorium, Thursday, March 30, 2017, at 7:30 p.m.
