On Friday, the day after her performance, Ruth Naomi Floyd will join Dan Daugherty, Executive Director of Alcuin Study Center at the E.B. Ball Center for an intimate conversation
If you are reading this and have not yet made plans to attend Ms. Floyd’s The Frederick Douglass Jazz Works concert on Thursday, February 22, please do so!
Her website describes the composer/performer this way:
“Rooted and grounded in a faith ethos, Ruth Naomi Floyd has been a presence and worker in areas of the arts and justice throughout her career. Holding these themes in poetic tension within her body of creative work, Ruth has lectured prolifically on the intersection of beauty, theology, and the arts throughout the world. She believes strongly that music has the power to speak profoundly to the human condition and that the arts are essential to life and its spirit.”
Our conversation on Friday will take place at that very intersection of beauty, theology, and the arts. There is time allotted for audience participation, so please come with an ear to listen and perhaps a question to ask.
