The Kent State University School of Music returns to Severance Music Center on Monday, May 2, at 7 p.m. featuring nearly 300 students from across the university performing a rich lineup of genres and styles from classical and jazz to gospel and world music. It will also feature collaborations with the School of Theatre and Dance and the Wick Poetry Center.
Titled “Stories of Peace, Protest and Reflection,” the concert is a commemoration of the tragic Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970. Each work explores social justice, civil rights and the complex emotions felt before, during and after tragedy. Interspersed throughout the concert will be poetry, read by guest speakers like Roseann “Chic” Canfora—an eyewitness to the events of May 4 and a current faculty member in Kent State’s School of Media and Journalism. The poems will be selected from the Wick Poetry Center’s collection commemorating the 50th anniversary of the tragedy.
