Dive into an enchanting evening where auditory artistry meets visual brilliance, as we embrace the spirit of Calida Rawles’ evocative exhibition.

This unique concert invites you to transcend the ordinary, journeying through the rich soundscape of 1960s Overtown, Miami. With the Memphis Symphony Orchestra at the helm, each note unfolds tales of joy, defiance, and cultural affirmation—an auditory homage to a vibrant era pulsating with life and resilience.

Each piece in the program was thoughtfully curated to resonate with Rawles’ exploration of water as a conduit for healing and protection, weaving a narrative that reflects the emotional profundity of Black existence. The music embodies the essence of her artworks, where waves of sound cascade and flow, mirroring the fluidity of her brushstrokes. It’s not merely about listening; it’s an invitation to feel, connect, and reflect on the stories that thread through history and identity.

Prepare to be enveloped in a tapestry of sounds, where the past and present intertwine through rich melodies and harmonies. This is more than a concert—it’s an experience that honors the complexity of our shared cultural heritage.
