Makanda Project Dudley Library Concerts

Four times a year, VISIONS presents free jazz concerts by the acclaimed Boston-based jazz group The Makanda Project, in the community-based setting of the Dudley Library Auditorium in Roxbury, MA. The arts—and the community spirit achieved through these particular events—are an ideal vehicle for the principles that VISIONS represents. Presenting these concerts is another way that VISIONS is involved in the community where we work.
 
The Makanda Project is a 13 piece ensemble formed in 2005 to play the previously unrecorded compositions of Makanda Ken McIntyre (1931-2001), a Roxbury native who was a significant yet under-recognized jazz innovator in a career that spanned over four decades. The Makanda Project includes several of Boston’s most accomplished jazz musicians. Each Dudley Library concert also features an internationally renowned guest artist.  Some of the concerts also include a live painting activity facilitated by Massachusetts College of Art & Design’s sparc! the ArtMobile, and/or performances by community youth.
 
Concerts will take place at the new Bruce C. Bolling Municipal Building, 2300 Washington Street, second floor.
