As a proud DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership Community Partner, Arcomusical cordially invites the DeKalb community to attend Transformation Through Rhythm, an annual event to drum up a good cause! held at the DeKalb High School Auditorium on Sunday afternoon February 22nd at 3PM. The concert will feature the percussion duo Escape Ten, a nationally-recognized ensemble founded by percussionists Dr. Andrea Venet (University of North Florida) and Annie Stevens (Virginia Tech University), as well as beloved local percussion groups: Harambee Ensemble, DeKalb High School Percussion Ensemble, Northern Illinois University Percussion Ensemble, and Arcomusical. All donations received will benefit the more than 150 non-profit organizations based in and/or serving DeKalb County. Admission is free, and donations will be collected both digitally and in-person at the event.

“In support of the DCNP’s Give DeKalb County Bonus Pool, this all-percussion concert is the perfect vehicle to deliver global benefit to our county’s non-profit sector. For all around the world there are as many diverse percussive traditions as there are active non-profit organizations (now well over 150!) throughout our beloved DeKalb county. Indeed, percussion music, in all its forms, convey's our common human capacity for deep joy that dances right in step with the DeKalb non-profit sector’s collective mission to deliver, in a myriad forms, health, hope, and light throughout our community. Come join us and get caught up in the magic of Transformation Through Rhythm!”
