The Music That Reconnects: Sacred Jazz for Social Justice with Warren Cooper - 1/31
Join us at Dreaming Stone Arts and Ecology Center on January 31st for the fourth concert in our series, “The
Music That Reconnects” with “Warren Cooper's Sacred Jazz for Social Justice.” This event is a continuation of our fall and winter concert series that will feature fantastically talented musicians and educators who draw from varied musical traditions to connect us more deeply with ourselves, each other, and the world.
Warren Cooper’s night of “Sacred Jazz for Social Justice” will give North Carolinians the chance to experience his exquisite voice and stunning arrangements of familiar spirituals. As we honor Martin Luther King’s legacy and prepare for Black History Month, Warren will lead us through an experience of the liberatory message of African spirituals and unpack the gifts they offer to all of humanity.
Warren Cooper is a seasoned artist, producer, and broadcaster who runs a production company in Philadelphia that nurtures the movement for non-violent justice and peace. As a performance artist, content creator and musician, Warren pursues virtuosity as an ultimate vehicle of expression. His wide array of experience and passion for human rights, environmental justice, and spiritual health yield a uniquely flavored approach to putting a message in the music. As a movement activist, he continues to blend boundaries and create safe, open, and intentional spaces for conversations that incubate possibilities and pathways to peaceful ways of being. His worldview was shaped by the coupled realities of growing up as a Black male in the shadow of Philadelphia’s 1964 race riots and by his father’s commitment to reaching (from a spiritual center) across cultures and sectors to build bridges of Beloved Community.
His message will uplift, and his voice will melt away all that we don’t need to carry as it centers us in Love.
This event will take place at the Dreaming Stone Arts & Ecology Center on January 31st, 2025, at 7:00 pm (Doors open at 6:00 pm)
Drinks will be available for purchase.
