The spring series of Alive After Five will continue on May 4, from 6 to 8:30 pm.
As Knoxville begins celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the World’s Fair in May, Alive After Five will present the Carib Sounds Steel Band, two members of which also played with The Gemmonites Steel Orchestra who performed at the World’s Fair’s Elm Street Theater, located next door to the Japanese Pavilion, which became the new location of the Knoxville Museum of Art.
Alive After Five is a unique live music series presented on thirty or more Fridays per year in four seasonal series. The programs take place in the smoke-free, casually elegant setting of the Great Hall in the Knoxville Museum of Art. There is a live band on stage, seating at tables, two cash bars, food from area restaurants, free freshly popped popcorn, free parking, and a licensed therapeutic masseuse available. Audience members can enjoy listening to music, dancing, and browsing the museum’s art galleries.
