Branch Library performances:
Culminating concert on Sunday, March 22, 2 pm at Main Library.
Ohio Regional Music Arts and Cultural Outreach (ORMACO) presents a week-long World Tour of Music residency series connecting students and community with unique cultures from major world groups. The program aims to broaden communities’ positive exposure to different cultures, help them recognize and respect differences and similarities between themselves and persons of other cultures, and strengthen their own cultural identity. The week culminates in a concert for the community.
