Performing Arts Series: Larry & Joe

Wednesday, Jan. 29 | 8-10 p.m.
Harper Hall

This dynamic duo is composed of Larry Bellorín of Monagas, Venezuela, a legend of Llanera music, and Joe Troop, a Grammy-nominated bluegrass musician from North Carolina. The two fell into step together when the pandemic sent Troop back home to The Tarheel State after ten years in South America, the same state where Bellorín happened to end up as an asylum seeker. Their unique blend of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk on the harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, guitar, maracas, and whatever else fits in the van unites their own unique cultures and traditions while bringing music to the forefront of social movements.

General admission tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors. Students with a valid ID get in for free!
