The Okefenokee Heritage Center in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institute has brought the
New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music Exhibit to Waycross. This exhibit brings the humanities to different regions of the state. One thing that is happening as part of New Harmonies program is that various concerts are being given in our area. These concerts feature different genres of music like gospel, blues, country, folk, and rock.
The latest concert to be held was a classical music performance given by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra String Quartet. The kids and I decided to check it out. The theme of the evening was American roots music and featured works by American composers. The musicians played for about an hour and a half, and were superb. We sat on the second row, so the kids had a great view of the performance. They enjoyed the concert and were very well behaved (which earned them an ice cream after the event). It was really nice to have this type of event be presented so close to home.
