on tour as part of Center Stage

Eisenhower Auditorium

Join us for the Center for the Performing Arts third annual Move Mix Festival! The community block party-styled event is a free event with an open invite for everyone to experience international jazz music and local dance performance.

Limited seating will be available, but you are welcome to bring your own folding or camp chair.

Egypt-born oud prodigy and world-versed musician Mohamed Abozekry is parked at the intersection of Arabic modality, Middle Eastern classical music, and international jazz fusion. He leads his sextet in a performance of a boundary-pushing, contemporary compositions atop his lilting and swirling vocal melodies.

Kikora Franklin, a dance professor in the Penn State School of Theatre, will join Mojah Dance Theatre of Atlanta for their performance of “Move Mix: Join the Mojah Movement.” Mojah is a celebratory, stylish fusion of modern, jazz and West African dance techniques.

American Sign Language interpretation will be offered for the dance performance.

Free but registration is required. Register online.
