MEDIA ALERT
Say so long to summer with hot steel drums and cold ice cream at the Taft Museum of Art
HOT MUSIC-COLD TREATS
Sunday, August 26, 2–4 p.m.
Firelytes Steel Drum Band
Continuing the old-fashioned tradition of a neighborhood band concert and ice cream social, the Taft Museum of Art invites you to enjoy Hot Music-Cold Treats, a free, late-summer delight under the shady tent in the garden. United Dairy Farmers has donated free cups of ice cream for all guests, and Firelytes Steel Drum Band will help burn off the calories.
This fun, fiery, and entertaining ensemble of pan players and percussionists enjoys engaging audiences in an energetic groove explosion of cross-cultural music. They perform the flavorful and festive sounds of Soca, Calypso, Latin, R&B, pop, classical, and jazz on an amazing variety of 55-gallon oil barrels and drums. Are you ready to limbo?
FREE. No reservations taken. Information: (513) 241-0343.
