Detroit Renaissance: Structurally Sound at the Detroit Institute of Arts at the Bearden Mural

“Detroit Renaissance” is a cross artistic discipline concert featuring music, poetry, and art with a Detroit focus. Ken Thompkins, Maurice Draughn and Joe Becker will perform the music of Maurice Draughn and premiere “African Violet” by Jeff Scott. Detroit poet Kalimah Johnson will read some of her original poems. The DIA’s African American art collection will serve as a perfect setting for “Detroit Renaissance.”
