Sacred Fire

Join us at the Sandrell Rivers Theater on February 13 at 7pm for a night that explores a range of Western classical music by composers of African descent by merging engaging visual elements and sound. Sacred Fire is a chronological musical journey from Afro-British to Afro-Brazilian music, narrated with poetic prose and accompanied with elements of movement (ballet) and visual art. The program will culminate in an audience talk-back with the artists and Fantasy Theater Factory CEO/Executive Artistic Director Larry Fields.
