Spivey Hall will celebrate its popular summer Global Music Festival with seven performances spanning five continents over three days from June 19 to June 21. Open to all ages, this festival is wonderful for families, individuals, and groups (recreation centers and day camps, senior assisted living groups).
Audiences will enjoy a musical journey around the globe, with seven ensembles performing works representing different world regions and cultures. The journey includes musical visits to the Andes of South America, the Caribbean, Africa, India, China, Eastern Europe, and Ireland.
“Spivey Hall’s Global Music Festival is a consistent audience favorite also enjoyed by the participating ensembles, musically immersed in the regions their performances represent,” said Melanie E. Darby, Spivey Hall director of education and community engagement. “This year’s performances will take audiences on an aural safari from the plains of Africa to the peaks of the Andes, from islands of the Atlantic to inland empires of Eastern Europe, China, and India.”
