The Message Behind the Music celebrates African-American History Month with an exploration of the transformative power of song and the shifting cultural influences that drive musical styles. "Wake Up Everybody" Heralded as musical prophets with roots in the survival of the African-American family and community, award-winning musicians Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff capture the fervor of the Civil Rights Movement. In 1971, this phenomenal duo founded Philadelphia International Records, writing and producing more than 170 gold and platinum records. Artistic Director and Choreographer Obediah Wright will present a corps of dancers and singers in a retrospective tribute to Gamble & Huff featuring classics from the Sound of Philadelphia songbook.
