Makinto

A few weeks ago, 1,425 Harrisonburg City and Rockingham County middle schoolers experienced a live performance from world-renowned jazz musician Makinto. The Liberian-German composer, musician, singer, and storyteller played jazz flute, piano, and percussion for students during his two-day residency. The interactive and engaging program highlighted music from around the world.  

We were thrilled to partner with the EMU Music Department to bring Makinto to our students. He was in Harrisonburg for the EMU Gala, where he premiered a new composition.
