Mahogany Chamber Music Series: Sanctuary

Kacky Walton spoke with Gavin Wigginson, Executive Director of Prizm Ensemble, about their new season kickoff with the Mahogany Chamber Music Series concert on Sunday, October 6.

The concert will take place at The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. It will feature world-renowned artists German-American violinist Anyango Yarbo-Davenport, Nigerian poet, playwright, and performer Titlope Sonuga, and concert pianist and MCS curator Artina McCain. This performance explores themes of identity, sisterhood, love, and redemption—celebrating the arts as a powerful location for healing.

I owe my radio career to the Ford Motor Company. My daddy had a Ford dealership in our hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and he thought it would be cute if his 7-year old daughter did his radio commercials. The pay wasn't great, just a pack of Wrigley's gum, but I was hooked on radio from then on.
