Year five of Florida Orchestra’s series at Woodson African American Museum

On January 12, a woodwind quintet from the Florida Orchestra will perform music by William Grant Still, Valerie Coleman, Astor Piazzolla, and others at Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. The program opens the fifth year of the orchestra’s Woodson Concert Series, with this season’s theme being “Telling Our Stories,” exploring personal and shared stories through chamber music by diverse composers on Sunday afternoons. Admission to the Woodson Concert Series is pay-what-you-can at the door; additional 2020 concerts in the series will include a brass quintet on February 9, a string trio (March 29), and cello/piano duo (May 3). The Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum’s mission is “to preserve, present, and interpret African American history and to engage a broad and diverse audience through these activities, as well as promote an understanding among various groups that comprise the St. Petersburg community to enhance our ability as a society to respect, value diversity, and foster equal rights and social justice.”
