AN EVENING WITH KYSHONA
Colorado College will welcome singer/songwriter Kyshona and her trio for a performance beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6 in Celeste Theatre, Cornerstone Arts Center. The event is free and open to the public.
Self-described as a “music therapist gone rogue,” Nashville-based Kyshona is an artist ignited by untold stories and the capacity of those stories to thread connection in every community. With the background of a licensed music therapist, the curiosity of a writer, the resolve of an activist, and the voice of a singer, Kyshona (pronounced Kuh-SHAUN-Uh) is unrelenting in her pursuit for the healing power of song.
Presented in partnership between the Colorado College Music Department and the CC Wellness Resource Center, with additional support from the Colorado College Cultural Attractions Fund.
