The Afro-Semitic Experience will be sharing music from their new album Exile to Exodus. Rooted in groove, improvisation, and cultural storytelling, the music invites audiences into a moving exploration of liberation and justice. Join us for an afternoon that celebrates the enduring power of music to inspire reflection, connection, and change. And you might even be moved to get up and dance!
Co-founded by African-American jazz pianist Warren Byrd, and Jewish-American jazz bassist David Chevan in 1998, The Afro-Semitic Experience is a band that combines an eclectic array of styles, sophisticated musicianship, good songwriting, deep grooves, and years of friendship with a simple message: Unity in the Community. Their music has been heard around the United States—the group has performed at festivals, in churches, synagogues, colleges, and wherever people come together to share their love and respect for community. Their performances are celebrations of community and culture that invariably get audiences up and dancing.
