Echoes Thru Time; Icons of the Black American Experience

Journey back to the Golden Age of Jazz – a century ago, when America’s most unique art form was delighting people all over the world with its bold originality. UCF’s Flying Horse Big Band, directed by Jeff Rupert, will entertain us with music from Black jazz legends who performed at the South Street Casino in Orlando – and found welcoming hospitality at the Wells’Built Hotel. Vocalists Vance Villastrigo and DaVonda Simmons will perform with the band. The casino and hotel were built by Dr. William Monroe Wells, who dedicated his life to the well-being of both his patients and the Parramore community.

Join us March 9th, for this free performance at the Wells’built Museum, celebrating Dr. Wells’ vision and advocacy in the Holden-Parramore Historic District – and the power of community.
