URI Hillel Afro-Semitic Experience Concert
.jpg)
With its unique instrumentation, solid grooves, and the ability to get an audience on its feet, The Afro-Semitic Experience, co-founded by African-American jazz pianist Warren Byrd, and Jewish-American jazz bassist David Chevan has reimagined the jazz concert. This is a band beyond category—performing an intricate tapestry of spiritual, world-beat, funk, jazz, cantorial, gospel, salsa, swing . . . soul-driven music. Their concerts are celebrations where they play great music, tell stories, and offer a positive and meaningful message: Unity in the Community.
This concert, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by URI Hillel, the URI Multicultural Student Services Center, URI Community, Equity, and Diversity, the Music Department, Africana Studies, and the URI Chaplains Association with support from the Jewish Alliance of Greater RI.
