ECU’s School of Theatre & Dance invites you to an immersive concert event celebrating the works of one of the most innovative composers for the musical stage, Stephen Sondheim, who would have been 95 years old this month.

Featuring skilled students and faculty of ECU and the extraordinary talents of our local Greenville artists, you will be enveloped in the artistic journey through Sondheim’s best works including the operatic melodrama of Sweeney Todd, the pointillistic profundity of Sunday in the Park with George, the lavish universe of the 1920’s in Follies, and the haunting fables of Into the Woods, plus many more!

Seating is general admission but very limited, so secure your free tickets now.  Parts of the experience require standing or moving; however, seating will be provided for all mobility needs.

This production is made possible by East Carolina University, Greenville Museum of Art, and the Zeta Psi Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia professional men’s music fraternity.

UPCOMING:
”How We Got Over” ::: sayings from my kindred ‘nem

JANUARY 17 - MARCH 7, 2025 | WEST WING AND COMMONS GALLERIES

Opening in January 17, 2025, the Greenville Museum of Art (GMoA) is thrilled to host, “How We Got Over” ::: sayings from my kindred ‘nem, an exhibition guest curated by Zacaria Sage. This exhibition showcases the work of seven North Carolina-based artists working in a variety of media in response to GMoA’s current exhibition, Aphorisms & Verses: Works from the GMoA Collection by Ben Shahn and Marvin Saltzman, which will remain partially installed through March 7th.

The artists featured include:
Bruklyn
Fuss
Majesty Royale-Jackson
Shambo Medina
Taari Felice
Tashia Ethridge

“An aphorism is an expressive truth, observation, or set of instructions,” writes guest curator Zacaria Sage and curatorial consultant Sir Porte. “This concept transcends generational lines, cultures, and territory borders to equip people with life-sourced guidance. The work of Ben Shahn and Marvin Saltzman are some examples of sense-making with aphorisms through written or visual forms in the GMoA permanent collection. Those works are in conversation with the seven invited artists of “How We Got Over” :: sayings from my kindred ‘nem, who have unearthed other Aphro-isms. Aphro-isms, or Black Aphorisms, offer a rich legacy of sharing the wisdom gained from lived experience and the trials we have overcome. Aphro-isms are an oral tradition of learning, telling, remembering, and listening to truths. The embedded knowledge of these sometimes witty or metaphorical wisdoms often comes from those with the knowledge of danger, marginality, or precarity.”

GMoA will host the opening reception of “How We Got Over” ::: sayings from my kindred ‘nem on Friday, February 7 from 5-8pm. Join us for light refreshments and a chance to meet the guest curator and participating artists.

Schedule of Events:
-6:00pm: Opening Toast followed by Q & A with exhibiting artists
-7:00pm: Music and Poetry from Lee Jean Jr. and Regina YC Garcia followed by open mic for exhibiting artists
