African Music and Dance Ensemble performs Sunday

Three members of The African Music and Dance Ensemble.

The African Music and Dance Ensemble will present its spring concert Sunday (Feb. 24) at 2 p.m., in the Falbo Theater of WVU's Creative Arts Center.

The concert will be dedicated to Bernard Woma, who passed away unexpectedly in April 2018. He was a master drummer for the National Theater of Ghana and regular guest artist at WVU for the past 10 years, including a semester-long residency in Spring 2017. Performers will focus on repertoire learned from Woma at his Dagara Music Center in Ghana. The concert will also showcase the WVU Afrobeat Band and a guest performance of the West Liberty African Ensemble under the direction of Mitch Greco.

The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, visit our website.
