Global Rhythms with the Harambee Percussion Ensemble
September 14 @ 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm
Dance along to the rhythms of the Harambee Percussion Ensemble!
Harambee was founded by Dr. Sherry Jones in the early 2000s at Littlejohn Elementary as an after-school enrichment program. Co-directed by Sharon McKee, it soon expanded to include its middle school alumni, who became the group’s first student leaders. Harambee moved to Cortland Elementary in 2011, expanding still further as students returned to continue playing as high-schoolers, and members began combining efforts with the younger musicians. Harambee settled in its current location at the Federated Church of Sycamore in 2015.
This performance is part of 8 Countries in 1 Day, the library’s biggest event of the year. It will take place in the main lobby and is free and open to all. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
