Jordan-Matthews artists perform at the North Carolina General Assembly for ARTS Day 2024, an annual gathering of art and action that draws hundreds of North Carolinians to learn, network, celebrate and speak with one voice on behalf of the arts.

JM takes the stage at 10:45 a.m. with performances by the Mixed Advanced Choir and Dance 2 Ensemble. Also performing at 11:30 a.m. is the Leela School of Dance, an educational organization teaching Indian classical dance with studios in Cary, Morrisville and Fayetteville.

The JM Mixed Advanced Choir features eight vocalists who have performed for several years as part of vocal music ensembles and musical theater casts. They also are involved in quiz bowl, robotics, environmental science and more, making them well-rounded leaders.

The Dance 2 Ensemble features dancers who have trained in several different styles of dance — including modern, jazz and hip hop that will be reflected in this performance. They also have been involved in other school activities, including the annual musical, track and cheerleading.

More about the performance — including a roster of JM’s participating artists — will be available here when they are available. ARTS Day 2024 is organized by Arts NC, a nonprofit working to provide equity and access to the arts for all North Carolinians and to connect arts communities across the state.
