ARTZ | MLK Day Celebration with Warren Oree and Friends
Join us as we welcome back Warren Oree, a favorite Music in the Neighborhood performer, for a special Martin Luther King Day program at Woodmere Art Museum! Warren Oree’s command of his upright acoustic bass mesmerizes audiences, unaccustomed to hearing the wide, colorful array of sounds that he can extract. In 2003, Warren Oree co-founded LifeLine Music Coalition, Inc.; a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting jazz and the arts in Philadelphia. For eight years LMC organized the West Oak Lane Jazz & Arts Festival featuring local Philadelphia artists. Join Warren and the Arpeggio Jazz Emsemble for his signature style of “undefeated Jazz.” “Music in the Neighborhood” is generously sponsored by the Henrietta Tower Wurts Memorial of the Philadelphia Foundation. It is a monthly program hosted by ARTZ Philadelphia, with various musical artists from the community performing in the Northwest and Hunting Park neighborhoods of Philadelphia and online, as a component of our “ARTZ in the Neighborhood” project.
