Creole Choir of Cuba comes to Brooks Center

CLEMSON — The Creole Choir of Cuba brings its passionate melodies, wild harmonies and richly textured arrangements to Clemson University’s Brooks Center for the Performing Arts at 8 p.m. Thursday.

Singing music they learned from grandparents and celebrating the history of their Haitian descendants, these 10 vocalists from Camagüey, Cuba, are Grammy-nominated and multiple award-winners.

The Creole Choir was founded in 1994 during the “Special Period” when the Cuban economy collapsed following the end of the Soviet Union and its support of Cuba’s revolutionary government. During this difficult time of sharply reduced resources, members of the Professional Choir of Camagüey decided to reforge the resistance songs and laments of their forefathers.

The program includes pieces that tell stories from being lost in a storm at sea and a gossip being rejected from the neighborhood to times of freedom and young love.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and are available for purchase online at www.clemson.edu/Brooks and through the box office at 864-656-7787 from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Oconee County - The Oconee Humane Society will be hosting two mega adoption events at area PetSmarts on Saturday, June 22. One will be at the Seneca PetSmart in the Applewood Shopping Center on Highway 123 from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. It will be sponsored by the Seneca Foothills Elks Lodge #2822. The other with be held at the Easley PetSmart next to Walmart on Highway 123 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Cats and dogs and puppies and kittens will be available at both locations. Cats and kittens will be inside the stores while dogs and puppies will be outside (weather permitting). All animals are microchipped, spayed or neutered, dewormed and will have age appropriate vaccinations. Dogs over 6 months of age are heartworm tested negative, and cats are tested feline leukemia negative. All animals are also eligible for a free one-month veterinary insurance coverage.

Additionally, PetSmart offers each adopter a free “goody bag” which includes coupons valued at $200.

Cash or check payments for adoption fees can be made at either store, and the Seneca location can also accept credit cards.

Oconee Humane Society always has cats and kittens available in the Seneca PetSmart’s adoption room, so if you’re not in the market for a new cat now, keep these cats in mind when you are ready to adopt. Both dogs and cats are always available at the shelter on Sandifer Blvd., and all of these animals are listed on the OHS website.

If you can’t adopt but would like to help, donations would be appreciated. Ask about the foster program and other volunteer opportunities at the shelter or special events. For additional information, please visit oconeehumane.org
