Black & Brilliant series
We're celebrating the brilliance all around us this Black History Month. For our first February back in business since 1978, we're excited to announce the launch of our inaugural Black & Brilliant series, a collection of six award-winning movies and an evening of live music that center Black storylines, characters and artists.
Included in the series is a special showing of 2006’s Academy Award-winning film Dreamgirls on “Galentine’s Day,” Feb. 13, and the NAACP Image Award-winning film Love and Basketball on Valentine’s Day.
In addition to the films, we'll end Black History Month with a special performance from Opera Carolina on Feb. 28 called Lift Every Voice and Sing. This concert celebrates the legacy of Black artists and composers and explores the cultural truths and transformative power of Black voices in classical music—from spirituals to operatic arias.
We hope you can join us this February as we celebrate being Black and brilliant.
