A FREE gathering of Leimert Park artists sharing, shining and performing…
The World Stage is in danger of losing their home in Leimert Park. This Sunday we will be holding a Roll Call of Artists and Performers to celebrate the unique beauty of the community, its artists, and the spaces in which their work is created.
Some of the many performers appearing are: Dwight Tribble, Michael Sessions, Jerry Quickley, Phil Ranelin, Billy McCoy Trio and more more more. We want anyone who cares about Leimert Park and the World Stage, or is at least curious, to share in the artistry and the love so many community artists have for the space created by the founders, Kamau Daáood and Billy Higgins in 1989.
The artists will share their reflections on Leimert Park Village, and select compositions that represent important and resonant connections between the music and the community of Leimert.
We want you to come celebrate this cultural gem with us to support our common cause and enjoy beautiful music.
Organized by: Dwight Tribble, Leila Hamidi, Jerry Quickley, Carlos Niño and Corazón del Sol
