SPRING2017
February
Springtime at N.C. A&T will bring violinist Tami Lee Hughes
and nationally renowned jazz artist Kenny Garrett Quintet.
Tami Lee Hughes in her rendition of “The Legacy Show.”
Critics rave that Hughes “rises to considerable technical
challenges, playing with sound reminiscent of Perlman.”
Since making her debut with the National Symphony
Orchestra, she has extensively toured the United States,
Europe and Central America, championing the music of
African-American composers. Her solo album, “Legacy:
Violin Music of African Composers,” was heralded as one
of the top 10 albums of 2011 by all Music Guides, garnering
acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Nothing or no one
can compare to the sounds of this musical genius! Come
and experience what others have heard and boast about, the
music of Tami Lee Hughes, a cultural odyssey. Uncommonly
great! Thursday, Feb. 23, at 7:30 p.m. in Harrison
Auditorium.
