Cellist and singer-songwriter Shana Tucker will be performing live in concert at Elm Street Cultural Arts Village on July 25 at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. as part of their “Lantern Series.”

Prior to her concert, Tucker will be holding a conversation on the role race plays in the music, arts, and culture communities. This conversation will focus on Tucker’s experience playing a historically classical instrument as a Black artist, how and why representation matters.

“There’s a lot of vulnerability in having these courageous conversations about race and how that plays into our communities, our culture, and specifically as a musician, how that plays into the art that I make and my ensemble makes,” said Tucker.
