Artichoke Community Music event series led by Chuk Barber, free entry but students must register (doors open at 6 pm, event at 6:30).

To serve BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color) middle and high schoolers by introducing them to Samba drumming with immersion in Brazilian culture with an emphasis on music history, team building, positive self image, confidence, and self improvement! While the emphasis is on reaching BIPOC youth, all are welcome. Parental cooperation is expected (as a learning partner) in developing practice times and rehearsal in the home environment.
