Concert: Kalimba, The Spirit of Earth Wind and Fire—May 3, 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The nationally touring show Kalimba, The Spirit of Earth Wind and Fire provides an Earth, Wind & Fire experience so satisfying, it transports audiences back to the excitement of the first time they heard these unforgettable songs.

The 10-piece organization includes a full horn and rhythm section to reproduce the infectious grooves created by EWF’s Verdine White and Ralph Johnson. In February the loss of EWF’s founder and musical genius, Maurice White, left the world mourning, but Kalimba, The Spirit of Earth Wind and Fire faithfully honors his work by featuring lush treatments of the soaring vocal harmonies that are the hallmark of Earth, Wind & Fire’s music and EWF’s late founder, musical genius, Maurice White. Performances authentically replicate the signature high notes of Maurice White’s sidekick, Philip Bailey, making this show a true tribute that you won’t soon forget. $35 per person (limit of 4 tickets per person).
