Two new campus musical groups at Illinois State University, established following the arrival of faculty member Oforiwaa Aduonum, will be showcased in a concert at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 8, in Hayden Auditorium.
Admission is free and open to the public.
The second group, comprised of Illinois State students and faculty along with members of the local community, is called the BiaJo Dance Theatre. It was formed this past January with the goal of preserving and celebrating the drum and dance traditions of the African experience. The concert will feature music, dance and storytelling and will showcase newly purchased hand-carved drums, bells and rattles from Ghana.
