Program Description

Description

In honor of Black History Month, join us for Jojo Gitcho Banjo, a special musical performance from JAWAD!  Through the use of 4 different banjos (two of them hand-made), original songs, storytelling and visual aids, performer and musician JAWAD shares knowledge of music, science, history and social studies in a way that assures each audience leaves with more than they entered with. JAWAD operates on the premise that the banjo is nothing but a drum with a stick and strings. Come learn about the evolution of the banjo within both a musical and historical context. 

This program is sponsored by the Young Audiences of Houston; Arts for Learning Assistance Fund.
