Enjoy a FREE concert, Black Joy in the Springtime, at the Pope House Museum, on 511 South Wilmington Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 2 to 3 p.m.
Music played a central role in American family life during the 19th and early 20th centuries, long before the advent of television and cellphones.
African American households embraced music as a powerful means of self-expression. Through gospel, jazz, blues, and classical music, African Americans found a way to share their stories, joys, and sorrows.
‘Black Joy in the Springtime’ beautifully highlights this rich musical heritage at one of Raleigh’s historic African American homes. Enjoy a delightful musical performance by Shenette Swann.
About Shenette Swann: Carolina-born and Memphis-raised, Swann motivates listeners to soar through her original song stories. With show-tune energy and a belting blues background, Swann is contracted with Wake County libraries for song stories, and she has performed for several cultural festivals, jazz lounges, conferences, and is most known for her favorite…living room concerts in the homes of many!
