The Somerville Arts Council presents: Project Misik, In a Somerville Yard: A Series of Free Music Performances & Workshops Aug. 25, Sept.1, & Sept. 11— FREE! 3 outdoor performances at the Blessing of the Bay Boathouse Park

The universal magic of music and brings us together–and a perfect way to spend a late summer evening!

Project Misik, In a Somerville Yard, a production by Project Misik brings this concept to Somerville neighborhoods, featured artists include: Solomon Murungu showcasing the mbira; Harrison Tei, teaching Ghanaian drum & dance; Peniel Guerrier, a Haitian drummer and dancer; and Becky Bass playing a steel pan! Join us for an amazing summer music series filled with music and dance from Ghana, Zimbabwe, Haiti and Trinidad & Tobago. Each evening is divided into two parts –a one hour workshop of learning the history of the instruments and music, followed by hands-on instruction. The sessions conclude with the artists performing live music–students and audience members are invited to join the fun. Let’s learn, create and dance!

During COVID, the Somerville Arts Council issued a grant program support our BIPOC community. Zili Misik was one of
the grant recipients. Designed to serve individual BIPOC artists, this initiative creates a bridge that builds organizational
capacity to provide leadership in arts by presenting programs and instruction that predominantly serve the BIPOC culture
and bring culturally equity to our community.

Location: Blessing of the Bay Boathouse Park, 32 Shore Drive, Somerville
