Join us for a special MLK Day edition of the every.Word Poetry Monday Night Open Mic, presented in collaboration with The VORTEX. This annual gathering honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through poetry, music, and performance that uplift Black voices and celebrate art as resistance, truth-telling, and collective liberation
Hosted by acclaimed poet, playwright, and artivist Ebony Stewart, this evening centers Black poets while welcoming musicians and allies into a values-aligned creative space. Together, we gather in community to honor Dr. King’s enduring call for justice, love, and freedom of expression.
“Unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
To celebrate Black History Month, OWOM presents Dr. Artina McCain, pianist. A Texas native with a formidable career as a performer, educator, and speaker, Artina McCain is a three-time Global Music Awards winner who has performed with the Dallas and Memphis Symphony Orchestras and was the mistress of ceremony for the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. As a consultant with multiple arts organizations, she is dedicated to promoting the works of underperformed composers. Her recital, “Hidden Gems”, will use visual aids and short commentary to introduce lesser-known composers including Joseph Joubert, Maria Corley, Tania Leon, and more. It will follow a storyline of discovering one’s own strengths as an artist.
One World, One Music is a concert series featuring cultural music from around the globe. It is through our shared love of music that we are able to foster a kindred spirit of understanding and respect of where we come from and where we are going as inhabitants of our one world. These concerts all take place in our intimate 'listening room" which feels like a hybrid between a living room and a concert hall. Themed food and beverage is also included in the ticket price for all events.
