About this event
Brought to you by Meeting Street Schools and the WatotoAcademy of Performing Arts, join us for our "That Sweet Soul Music" Community Concert. This production will take you on a musical journey that honors the music and artists responsible for creating Soul Music - one of America's greatest musical treasures.
Originating in the late 1950s/early 1960s, Soul Music is a beloved American music style that combines elements of African-American Gospel music, Blues and Rhythm and Blues.
