School Day Live

An Apollo Journey Through Rhythm & Blues with the Michael-David Band

Friday, May 12 at 11:30 AM

Tickets: $4 Per Person 

This performance will take audience members on a musical journey that begins with the birth of Rhythm & Blues in the 1940s and illustrate how music can reflect political, social and cultural change. The performance will highlight the contributions of early Rhythm & Blues pioneers such as Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton and innovators like Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, James Brown and others who performed at the Apollo Theater. The music of contemporary performers, such as Bruno Mars, whose music builds on the foundation of Rhythm & Blues with a mixture of funk, soul and hip-hop, will demonstrate why Rhythm & Blues is an art form that is still popular in the 21st century.
