Nobuntu is an all-female a cappella quartet from Zimbabwe that has drawn international acclaim for its inventive performances ranging from traditional Zimbabwean songs to Afro Jazz to Gospel. The ensemble’s concerts are performed with pure voices, augmented by minimalistic percussion, traditional instruments such as the Mbira (thumb piano) and organic, authentic dance movements.

In the last few seasons, the quintet has performed at festivals and concert halls in Italy, Austria, Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic and throughout the African continent. Their first tour to Canada in 2016 included performances in Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Victoria.

It seems everywhere we look, people are taking sides and calling names. How can we learn to find common ground? On Sunday, November 2, Sherry K’s groundbreaking group The Ripple Effect Vocal Visionary Project presents their annual "If You Knew Me, You'd Love Me" concert -- an evening of music and words designed to build understanding.

Uplifting songs of unity and inspiration will be interwoven with speakers from the community who will share personal stories to help us understand how it feels to walk in their shoes. The event takes place in Little Theatre at Saint Mary's College at 4pm, and is sponsored by Saint Mary's Division for Equity and Inclusion.

You’ll hear a wide variety of upbeat songs delivered by a choir with plenty of style—everything from an empowering Bette Midler dance hit, to a Mister Rogers classic, and a rousing Sherry K original anthem premiere! You'll also hear experiences from individuals who will give us an inside view of the encouraging journey that is their everyday lives. 

A donation will be taken at the door (pay what you can), with 20% of the proceeds donated to the Saint Mary's LGBTQ Center. Student admission is free. 

Little Theatre is located inside Moreau Center for the Arts, Saint Mary's College Campus, Notre Dame, IN and is ADA accessible.
