Deeply rooted in spiritual symbolism, a jubilee represents liberation, restoration, and renewal—a transformative moment marked by  forgiveness, reconciliation, and a return to harmony among people, creation, and the divine. Inspired by these profound themes, UZIMA! Drum and Dance's "Jubilee: Songs and Spirituals" offers a vibrant celebration of resilience and hope through a compelling blend of music, dance, and spoken word. This powerful and immersive performance brings to life the rich tapestry of the African diaspora. This event is part of the Presenting Series' Cultural Collective, programming supporting equitable artistic development in our community. GET TICKETS.
