Krannert Uncorked with Mhondoro Rhythm Success and Ranae Wilson and Company

At Krannert Uncorked, Stage 5 is the crossroads to gather, make connections, and try a new wine. This summer, enjoy three Uncorked events that will feature local musical artists in dual sessions from 5pm to 7pm and 7pm to 9pm on the evenings of July 14, 21, and 28. Please note that Krannert Center's north elevator (Illinois Street side) is out of service for the summer. The south elevator (Oregon Street side) is available.

At 5pm, Mhondoro Rhythm Success will offer popular music from Zimbabwe with danceable grooves and multi-layered melodies by artists such as Thomas Mapfumo, Bhundu Boys, Oliver Mtukudzi, John Chigadura, and others. This band's members are either originally from Zimbabwe, have lived there, have studied music there, or just wanted to try playing something completely different!

At 7pm, Ranae Wilson, an actor and singer whose passion is theatre, often involved in local theatre productions, will curate this evening of Broadway music. Enjoy songs from your favorite Broadway musicals presented by a group of talented vocalists along with piano accompaniment.
