Music at Noon: The Logan Series returns to Penn State Behrend on Thursday, March 24, with a free concert by the Okaidja Afroso Trio. The music will begin at noon in McGarvey Commons, in the Reed Union Building.

The performance, the second of three spring concerts for Music at Noon: The Logan Series, is open to the public at no charge.

Born in Kokrobite, a fishing village in western Ghana, Okaidja Afroso taught himself to play the guitar. His performances incorporate traditional Ga fetish dances and musical influences from across the African Diaspora. His 2017 album, “The Palm Wine Sea,” led to a commission from the Portland Repertory Theatre to rearrange the folk gospel song “Children Go Where I Send Thee.”

Music at Noon: The Logan Series was founded by Mrs. Kay Logan in 1989 and receives major support from the Kay Logan Trust. Additional funding is provided by the Penn State Behrend Student Activity Fee. Music at Noon receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Additional support is provided in part from an Erie Arts & Culture Project grant, made possible by community contributions to the Combined Arts & Cultural Campaign and the Erie Arts Endowment.
