Event Details

The Savannah Music Festival (SMF) will host a free panel discussion immediately following National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Jazz Master Regina Carter’s 6 p.m. live performance on Wednesday, April 5 at Trustees Theater.

MacArthur “Genius” Artist Award recipient Regina Carter will make her SMF debut with her original project Gone in a Phrase of Air, which explores the impact of urban renewal on African-American and immigrant communities beginning in the 1950s and the displacement of people and their respective cultures in Carter’s hometown of Detroit as well as neighborhoods in St. Louis, Chicago and New York City. In the work’s collection of original and reimagined music of the era, Regina Carter shines a spotlight on what’s been lost — gone in a phrase of air — and finds celebration in the ashes.

The panel discussion, which is free and open to the public, will address the impact of urban renewal and gentrification — both locally and nationally — and will feature first-hand accounts and moving personal experiences shared by three esteemed panelists, including Regina Carter, the former Mayor of the City of Savannah, Ga. and author of From ‘N Word’ to Mr. Mayor: Experiencing the American Dream Otis Johnson and nationally renowned artist Jerome B. Meadows.

Tickets to Regina Carter’s performance are not required to attend the free panel discussion.
