SUMMARY:The Power of Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion with distinguished Black leaders and artists as they share their experiences with the community as a source of power and joy\, and how culture can be shared to create a more just world as experienced in Connecticut. \nOur panelists have carved out space in Hartford and beyond for members of their communities to see themselves reflected beyond a single narrative. Through the creation of public venues and conversations\, our guests enable residents and artists to define themselves and their individual Black experiences. This joy is reflected in wedding photos\, renaming green space\, organizing Juneteenth celebrations\, hosting town halls\, and art galleries. It becomes a love letter to Black residents and allows neighbors to listen and learn. \nOur panelists are: \n \n\nKeith Claytor\, award-winning photographer and the owner of TimeFrozen Photography.\nAdrienne Billings-Smith\, Equity Coordinator for the town of West Hartford. She is also the founder and president of Concerned Parents of Color of West Hartford\, an organization focused on building equity and accessibility for communities of color through collaboration and partnership.\nKamora Herrington\, founder of Kamora’s Cultural Corner in Hartford. She provides youth mentorship\, intergenerational programming\, training in cultural humility\, and space for creating and nurturing community connections.\nAndre Rochester\, Fine Artist\, Curator\, and Arts Advocate from Greater Hartford. In addition to creating his own art\, Andre manages a collection of over 2500 works of art at UConn Health Center\, serves as Program Manager at The 224 EcoSpace.\nSamariya Smith\, Community History Project Manager at CMCH. She will moderate this conversation.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, and light refreshments will be provided. \n Click here to register.

SUMMARY:Summer Concert Series: The Jedda La Rue Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Due to the local air quality alert\, this event will be held indoors at the museum!\nJoin us for a concert featuring music from The Jedda La Rue Quartet! Our vendors will be onsite from 5:00PM. Music will begin at 6:00PM! \nAbout the Band \nThe Jedda La Rue Quartet is presented by Anne Marie Williams\, better known as “Jedda\,” who crafts a masterful collaboration through intergenerational connections and multi-talented performing artists. \nOne of Jedda’s local mentors is living legend Emery Austin Smith—jazz pianist\, arranger\, and composer—who first encouraged her to vocally venture into those known and loved\, “classic standards.” Jedda magically connects across generations\, interweaving her mastery of early childhood education and educational program design with the arts\, and delights in sharing her own “pearls of wisdom through songs\, stories\, fitness\, theater\, music\, and movement” with young children and adults. \nAs K La Rue Educational Arts in Motion\, she has provided educational resources for schools\, teachers\, and parents in the Greater Hartford area for over 35 years. In the tradition of Hartford jazz excellence\, Jedda will share familiar songs with local flavor\, stories that connect us to the histories of the music and the community\, plus a little something special of her own. She will be joined by Hartford musical luminaries Alvin Carter\, Jr. on percussion\, Christopher Casey on piano\, and Stephen Porter on bass. \nThe concert series is generously supported by the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee\, the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation\, the CT Cultural Fund\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \nLearn more about our summer concert series here. \nPhoto courtesy Ray Shaw.

SUMMARY:Facets of Indian Culture
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome Layavinyasa back to the CMCH to share Facets of Indian Culture\, an exciting opportunity for all ages to experience Kuchipudi dance\, and learn more about the cultural values and beliefs that permeate this art form. \nKuchipudi is a south Indian classical dance form accompanied by Carnatic music. Dancers dramatically interpret songs with spiritual themes\, utilizing many symbolic gestures and rhythmic movements to embody the mythic figures of the songs. To further illustrate and explain the meanings that are part of the performances\, Layavinyasa will also showcase Indian material culture including figures and paintings that contain the same symbolic elements\, and which will help show the spiritual themes of the lyrics\, as well as illustrate community festivities. \nThe program will showcase figures such as Nataraja\, which is the Hindu god Shiva in his form as the cosmic dancer. He holds an hourglass-shaped drum in his upper right hand\, which in dance is depicted with a “damaru” hand gesture\, both symbolic of rhythm and time. A cobra uncoils from his right forearm\, while his palm shows the “abhaya” gesture\, which means to not fear evil. \nThe program will also feature the Dandiya Raas\, a popular communal dance performed during Navrathri Festival\, another type of portrayal of cosmic dance\, this time depicting Lord Krishna and friends\, and the cycle of time\, birth\, life\, death\, and rebirth. \nThe program is partly funded by CT Humanities\, and will be offered free to the public. There will be a Question and Answer session after the program. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:The Color of Care: Film Screening and Community Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a showing of THE COLOR OF CARE. This film chronicles how people of color suffer from systemically substandard healthcare. It was produced by Harpo Productions from executive producers Oprah Winfrey\, Terry Wood and Catherine Cyr\, and directed by OSCAR®-nominated and Emmy® award winning director Yance Ford\, with producer Kate Bolger. \nTHE COLOR OF CARE traces the origins of racial health disparities to practices that began during slavery in the U.S. and continue today.

Visit The Bicycle Game and take history for a ride!  \nThis event is free and open to the public!

Kelvin Griffith\, the band’s director\, is well-known in Trinidad as a panist\, or steel drum player. Griffith is also a maker of steel drums\, and all the steel drums in the band are made by him. The steel pans reflect other instrument names based on the kind of sound they make—like cello\, bass\, guitar\, and tenor pan. \nHartford Steel plays a wide variety of musical genres specific to the West Indies\, including soca\, calypso\, and reggae\, and also can play pop\, classical\, gospel\, and jazz\, all arranged to reflect the rhythms of the islands. The band’s members have competed in years of steel band competitions—part of the culture of steel band performance in the Caribbean—and can always be found at the annual Taste of the Caribbean festival\, and at the West Indian Independence Celebration and Parade in Hartford\, as well as West Indian independence celebrations around New England. Hartford Steel Symphony has also played with The Hartford Symphony Orchestra and celebrities like Bernadette Peters and Len “Boogsie” Sharp\, one of the steel drums’ greatest panists. \nOur Summer Concert Series is funded through the support of the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Fund\, Bank of America\, N.A.\, Trustee; the Connecticut Office of the Arts/DECD; and the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Summer Concert Series: Orquesta Afinke
DESCRIPTION:Join us for salsa from Bridgeport featuring Orquesta Afinke! This concert will take place on the beautiful CMCH lawn. Grounds are open for seating and picnicking from 5 PM\, and music is from 6PM-7:30PM. All of the CMCH outdoor concerts are free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and food\, and Samba’s Cuisine food truck will be available onsite. In case of rain\, the concerts will move indoors to our auditorium. All our summer concerts will be livestreamed to our YouTube Channel.\n\nAbout the Band\nBridgeport band Orquesta Afinke was founded as a way to entertain as well as educate about Latin American music and cultures. Afinque is Spanish slang\, meaning that the group playing together has tight rhythms—they have it together. The band was founded by trombonist Tito Planas and percussionist Samuel Diaz\, Jr.\, who both grew up in local Puerto Rican music traditions\, and are also committed music educators. All the band members are Puerto Rican musicians from Bridgeport\, and the group was founded in 2009 out of an opportunity to serve the local community. \n“If you listen to the music and rhythms\, it really talks about the island\, the history\,” says Diaz\, and this is what he and the other members of the band make clear. They perform to entertain as well as teach about the cultural roots of the music\, which includes salsa\, merengue\, plena\, bolero\, cumbia\, and Latin jazz\, as well as the cultural histories of the instruments they play. All the musicians are seasoned professionals\, and have played alongside famous salsa artists such as Frankie Negron\, Tony Vega\, Choco Orta\, Charlie Cruz\, Kevin Ceballo\, Raulin Rosendo\, and Los Hermanos Moreno. \nOur Summer Concert Series is funded through the support of the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Fund\, Bank of America\, N.A.\, Trustee; the Connecticut Office of the Arts/DECD; and the National Endowment for the Arts.
