Details

The Rhythm Project All-Stars perform a collection of holiday favorites with a Caribbean twist.

The Rhythm Project is a world percussion ensemble dedicated to the nurturing of self-esteem through individual and cooperative achievement. Founded in 1996, the program was started in Portsmouth, VA by the Virginia Arts Festival. The All-Stars is a year-round program for high school students that focuses on instilling discipline and dedication in students through performance and touring opportunities.

The All-Stars, six (6) time Virginia International PANFest Grand Champions, have earned international acclaim and collaborated with many prominent artists. They have opened for Gladys Knight, shared the stage with pan artist Victor Provost and the Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra, performed at the Royal Nova Scotia and Virginia International Tattoos, and the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage. In May 2014, the group was featured on NPR’s “From the Top” program showcasing outstanding talent in high school students.
