The Rosenwald Centennial Project
ROSENWALD SCHOOL ACRES' 2022 EARTH DAY ENTERTAINMENT
Return to the roots of... GREAT MUSIC!
A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF THE CALVIN OWENS BLUES ORCHESTRA WILL BE SHARED BY OUR FESTIVAL DJ
Music was a central part of the curriculum Calvin Owens' 3rd cousin SAMUEL WALKER HOUSTON and the faculty of the Rosenwald funded Sam W. Houston Industrial and Training School offered. In fact, Professor Houston was an outstanding multi-instrumentist, arranger and composer.
A long line of musical performers can be found in generations of the Houston/Kittrell/Wilson family... including Ida Wilson Pennebacker's early 20th century European concert pianist daughter, Margarita Pennybacker; Charie Wilson's son, Maestro Calvin Owens of the Calvin Owens Blues Orchestra (http://moshows.com/calvin.html ) BB King's composer and orchestra conductor for over 16 years; Charlie's grandson the late El'Ray Wiseman, Jr.captain of the award-winning Kashmere Stage Band,; and his classically trained granddaughter, singer and international "edu-tainer" Kijana Wiseman, M.Ed (www.kjana.com ) (See below).
