Rowland Hall is excited to announce its 5th annual community-wide event as part of our weeklong celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year's theme is Better Together, and our program includes a few featured guests from both the national and local community. We will begin with our guest speaker, Deepa Iyer, who will share her framework for social change and work supporting communities in building belonging for all. Following this presentation will be a performance by Bomba Marilé, an organization that shares Afro-Puerto Rican traditions of Bomba music, dance, and ancestral stories through educational and interactive events that foster healing, connectedness, and community. The event will take place on Wednesday, January 14th at 6:00pm in the McCarthey Campus Dining Hall. Dinner will be provided to those who RSVP. See the attached poster for more information and RSVP today to reserve your seat(s). We hope you will consider joining us for this event, and we would appreciate your help in inviting other community members to this public event.

Grammy award-winner Madison Cunningham’s third record, ACE, for Verve Forecast, tracks every part of it: falling out of love, having your heart broken, and then falling in love again. It’s about betrayal and betraying yourself. It is a stunning record and some of Cunningham’s best songwriting to date. It showcases her at the height of her powers.

The sandy shores of Asbury Park, New Jersey are hallowed ground in the Northeast; the rolling waves have ushered generations of venerated musicians to worldwide acclaim. Dogs In A Pile, an eclectic quintet, has emerged as the heir apparent to the town’s rich musical legacy. Merging funk, jazz, and rock and roll with psychedelia, the band presents a completely original vibe built on kaleidoscopic soundscapes eerily reminiscent of the days of yesteryear.

The Dogs employ a unified approach to performance and songwriting, crafting aural mosaics through adept instrumentation and humble precocity. As avid storytellers, they draw inspiration from personal experiences, balancing life’s foibles with ever-present youthful sanguinity.
