Lifting diverse voices with culturally meaningful moments, this vital collection of performances brings Arts For Every Life into focus.
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts is featuring a lineup of diverse programming that will showcase the cultural tapestry of the Hispanic community.
From music and dance to theater and spoken word, Lifting Voices at Dr. Phillips Center supported by TD Bank, will provide opportunities for guests to immerse themselves in Hispanic arts, history and culture this Fall in downtown Orlando.
“We invite our community to join us in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month through performances that will inspire, capture and connect us all through rich Hispanic works of art,” says Kathy Ramsberger, president & CEO of Dr. Phillips Center.
A free event, Celebrating Hispanic Voices: An Evening of Spoken Word will begin the programming featuring Latinx spoken word artists on Friday, September 20, 2024. Additionally, local high school students will be performing and participating in a 90-minute interactive showcase—they will present original works and the evening will conclude a weeklong spoken word residency with City of Orlando’s Poet Laureate, Shawn Welcome.
Throughout the year, Dr. Phillips Center will host additional arts activations and community giveback initiatives that further fuel and highlight Hispanic culture.
