Guest Artist Series: The Langston Hughes Project

The Langston Hughes Project is a powerful multimedia concert performance of Hughes’s kaleidoscopic poem Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz. This vibrant fusion of spoken word, live jazz, and visual storytelling brings to life Hughes’s brilliant, forward-thinking commentary on race, art, and freedom. Featuring the dynamic Dr. Ron McCurdy and his talented ensemble, the production blends gospel, blues, bebop, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and more into an unforgettable journey through African American history and culture. Originally penned in the 1960s, Hughes’s message resonates just as strongly today.

Buy tickets online or at the PAC Box Office, open from 11 am to 4 pm, Monday through Thursday, and 11 am to 2 pm on Friday.

EMILY CRANK

Hello, my name is Emily Crank and I am a student at Bradley University. I am currently working towards the goal of double majoring in Art History and History with a minor in Museum studies and Women and Gender studies. My plan is to pursue local history and Gallery exhibition work with a community focus when I graduate. I love art and working on projects that explore the history of the Peoria area, and I am very excited to be working with Arts Partners towards these goals. I look forward to serving the community and furthering the reach of Arts Partners throughout the summer.
