Event Details
Jayden is stuck in detention with a book about Congressman John Lewis, but he thinks that history has nothing to teach him. Together we go on a musical journey through the decades that shows how the heroes in the Civil Rights movement inspired young John Lewis to protest injustice and get into ‘good trouble.’ As a boy, John dreams of being a preacher who can help others. While he doesn’t have a congregation yet, he does have a loyal group of singing chickens that listen to him as he finds his voice. As John meets Rosa Parks and Dr. King and ultimately becomes a leader and American hero himself, Jayden learns how he too can take a stand.

NEW YORK ARABIC ORCHESTRA COLLABORATES WITH LIU MUSIC STUDENTS
After a sold-out performance last year, New York Arabic Orchestra (NYAO) returns to Tilles Center for the Performing Arts’ Krasnoff Theater at Long Island University on Sunday, February 23 at 3 pm with an all-new program. The Orchestra, led by Artistic Director and violinist Layth Sidiq, will perform original pieces, including one by NYAO's late founder and former Northport resident Bassam Saba, entitled Chou Kan Hilo (How Beautiful It Was) - the first time the Orchestra will perform this piece since Saba’s passing - plus compositions from the golden era of Arabic music and more recent ones. Unique to this performance is that the Orchestra will also be joined onstage by eight students of Long Island University’s Music Department. -
