Hope Academy Students to Perform with Balafon West African Dance Ensemble at PBT’s Open Air Series

Hope Academy students will be performing with Balafon West African Dance Ensemble on Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre’s mobile stage for Open Air: A Series in Celebration of the Performing Arts on Friday, May 28, 5:30 pm, at Flagstaff Hill in Schenley Park.

We will be celebrating not only being together again, in person, after a year apart; but also Balafon’s 10 year anniversary!

Everyone is invited to bring their own blankets or chairs to sit outside on the beautiful lawn of Flagstaff Hill in Schenley Park. Seating is free, but you are encouraged to make a donation and sit in reserved seating – and support Balafon’s work.
