The Langston Hughes Project will perform at the ICC Performing Arts Center (located at 1 College Dr. in East Peoria) beginning at 7:30 pm. A powerful multimedia concert performance of Hughes’s kaleidoscopic poem Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz, tickets are $17.25 for students and $55.05 for adults and are available at https://icc.edu
This vibrant fusion of spoken word, live jazz, and visual storytelling brings to life Hughes’s brilliant, forward-thinking commentary on race, art, and freedom. Featuring the dynamic Dr. Ron McCurdy and his talented ensemble, the production blends gospel, blues, bebop, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and more into an unforgettable journey through African American history and culture. Originally penned in the 1960s, Hughes’s message resonates just as strongly today.
