Cultural Connection Events
Known for his spoken word poetry and dedication to creating safe spaces where any individual can tell their truth, Marquice L. Williams will share the stage with a few of Barrow’s fearless student writers in an evening of original music and spoken word poetry. Spellbinding vocal performances will be lifted high as the sun sets over the lake at the Innovation Amphitheater.
A sample of Metro Atlanta’s only fully-professional part-time symphonic orchestra will come to Barrow to share the beauty of all the stringed voices of the orchestra. Under the direction of the JCSO maestro, the individual beauty and nature of each stringed voice will be spotlighted before the quintet plays together in concert for the audience.
Past Events

As a special bonus, an opening dance act performed by students of the BASA Dance program will warm up the stage for the Ah Surely Trio.
