KYLA's Nia Strings Students Performed at the 2018 Malcolm X Day Talent Showcase 

Picture
Our KYLA students worked HARD this past month, preparing for the 2018 Malcolm X Day Talent Showcase! They did a GREAT job ❤️ If this is what they do only after a month of picking up a violin, just think how well they will develop over the years to come! EXCELLENT JOB ST⭐️R STUDENTS (as Ms Lailah MindoverMatter Hampton-El would say 😉)!!!  Looking forward to the next performance!

Apr24 @The Brown: On the Rocks Stories from the
Distilleries

by Joel F » Wed Apr 03, 2013 3:11 pm


Distillery leaders telling  tales for the Moth Radio Hour, Weds Apr 24 from8 to approx  10pm

You are cordially invited to attend one of Maker's Mark’s finest radio moments! Your favorite redhead is taking the stage, and we want you to hear her story front and center at The Moth Radio Hour.

The Moth, hailed as "New York's hottest and hippest literary ticket" by The Wall Street Journal, is an
acclaimed not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. It is a celebration of both the raconteur, who breathes fire into true tales of ordinary life, and the storytelling novice, who has lived through something extraordinary and yearns to share it. The Moth has presented more than three thousand stories, told live and without notes, by people from all walks of life to standing-room-only crowds worldwide. At the center of each performance is, of course, the story – and The Moth's directors work with each storyteller to find, shape and present it.

You are in for quite a treat! The "Maker" himself, Bill Samuels, Jr., will be in a live-recorded segment called "On the Rocks: Stories from the Distilleries" along with some of our other bourbon friends, Lincoln Henderson (Angel's Envy), Fred Noe (Jim Beam), Jimmy Russell (Wild Turkey) and Jim Rutledge (Four Roses). The event is hosted by Brian Finkelstein and is your chance to see the men of the hour and hear their
fascinating stories about bourbon, mostly true!

Wednesday, April 24, 8:00
p.m.–approximately 10:00 p.m.

The Brown Theatre
315 W.
Broadway
Louisville, KY 40202
RSVP by April 17 here:

PLEASE NOTE: Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and seating is first-come, first-serve. You must RSVP in order to guarantee a seat. Please bring your ticket with you to the event.

Louisville, Ky. (WHAS) -- The Shawnee Arts and Cultural Center offers violin lessons through scholarships and fee based instruction. The program was launched six weeks ago by community violinist Akhilah Cherry.

“It’s something that helped me and kept me out of trouble, so why not share that with others,” Cherry said.

Nubia Bennett enrolled her son Malik and he’s one of the first six children to play.

“We wanted it to be the rule not the exception that all the kids they are surrounded by are doing positive, constructive things,” Bennett said.

 The group held their first recital on Sunday and hopes to make it an annual community event.
