It’s not every day that you get to hear and learn from a Grammy Award-winning musician, but Pellissippi State Community College offers that opportunity to the public next week – for free.
Dom Flemons, a 2020 United States Artists Fellow, will perform a free concert at the Clayton Performing Arts Center on the college’s Hardin Valley Campus at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, as part of the college’s Black History Month celebration.
Flemons also will hold a free workshop on the African roots of the banjo and its influence on American music at 3:45 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23, also in the Clayton Performing Arts Center, 10915 Hardin Valley Road, Knoxville.
No tickets are required for the performance, which also is part of The Arts at Pellissippi State series.
Masks are not required on any Pellissippi State campus, but are recommended when social distancing cannot be maintained.
