City Strings United with the Makanda Project

The Makanda Project can be heard on a regular basis at the Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library, the Bruce C. Bolling Municipal Building, and the grounds of historic First Church, all in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood.  These self-produced free concerts have a distinct community flavor and reflect the value the group places on making the music accessible on a community level.  Often these events include vehicles for community participation such as live painting, facilitated by Massachusetts College of Art and Design’s sparc! the ArtMobile (Ekua Holmes, director), or performances by community-based youth groups.
