In solidarity with UNESCO’s International Jazz Day, join the Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum for Night of Sacred Sounds: An Evening of Jazz + The Spoken Word—a celebration of rhythm, soul, and inspiration featuring the Kweku Sumbry Quartet and Wesley “Panama” Watkins, Jr. and the Count the Cost Band! This special fundraiser will support the museum’s upcoming programming while honoring the rich cultural heritage of jazz and poetry, two art forms deeply rooted in the African Diaspora.
Set against the backdrop of the museum’s Sacred Spaces exhibition, this event will explore the profound ties between spirituality, artistry, and the African diasporic experience, offering a night of reflection, joy, and community.
Whether you’re captivated by the rhythm of the drums, moved by the eloquence of poetry, or simply drawn to the warmth of shared moments, Night of Sacred Sounds promises to uplift your spirit and energize your soul.
