Join us for a free outdoor performance on The Sullivan Plaza at Near West Theatre from Samba Joia. This always “FIRED UP!” drumming group builds community through vibrant Brazilian music and culture. The Tri-C JazzFest residency is part of Gordon Square Presents, a free performance series supported by Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, Kulas Foundation and The Louise H. and David S. Ingalls Foundation. Gordon Square Presents seeks to enhance artistic programming in the neighborhood, providing unique experiences to residents and visitors and opportunities to emerging artists. Tri-C’s partnership with the Gordon Square Arts District expands on the College’s commitment to bring Tri-C JazzFest programming to communities.
