WORKSHOP SHOWCASE

Sammy Miller and the Congregation

Free Community Concert and Student Workshops

This seven-piece group is a community of adventurous and charismatic superstar musicians who are conservatory-trained but who have not lost their childlike wonder and awe for playing music. They pull people out of their solitary lives and put them in the moment with a bracing dose of joyful jazz performed with infectious theatricality. In addition to the free community concert, Sammy Miller and the Congregation led TWO workshops with local students on the same day.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

Angelique Kidjo

This Memorable Moment in Shaftman Performance Hall is Angelique Kidjo. The GRAMMY winning Kidjo, described as “Africa’s premier diva” (Time Magazine) delivered an unforgettable performance in Shaftman Performance Hall in 2008 when she invited audience members onstage to dance with her and the band.

“Performing old and new jewels of Afro-beat music, Kidjo eventually cajoled a big pack of dancers to get in front of the stage. Then she invited them onstage for a lengthy, multicultural dance session. At least 50 audience members were onstage by the end, shimmying away in what looked like a dance-off.”

– Tad Dickens, Roanoke Times
