COVID-19 has rampaged the Black community since 2020, but how did wellness impact Blacks throughout America’s history overall…and what role did music play in helping the healing process? Journey with the Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts (CAAPA) ensemble, including soprano Brittani McNeill, as they delve into music relating to health, wellness, and healing, based on the ASALH (Association for the Study of African American Life and History) 2022 theme. Audience members will explore musical eras in history including “tar and feathering during Slavery; the 1918 influenza; “colored hospitals”; the Tuskegee Experiment, and more to today’s pandemic challenges. Concert music will move the body and soul to “Get Up!” during this socially relevant recital. https://www.aacpl.net/events/get-music-and-black-wellness-concert
