Music and poetry reflect the culture and folklore of a society. Songs and music mirror history, values, norms and the mentality of a society. When folklore and cultural ceremonies are celebrated with songs and music, it is to demonstrate the tradition and customs of a society. Music is a significant part of our changeless culture.

The Augusta Museum of History is proud to host local musicians throughout the year as an extension of our educational programming. Many of our special events will include a musical component. In addition, we may also offer stand-alone programs. Follow our Facebook page and Instagram account to stay up-to-date on upcoming musical features.

We are excited to have local youth drumline, Created 2 Play, join us on February 5 at the Museum to help us kick off our Black History Month Activities. The group will perform in the Museum Rotunda at 2:30.

Created 2 Play was started in 2019 by the musical mind of Jermal Harris with the help of his wife, Christina, who runs the business side of the program. The program not only serves as a source of musical enrichment, but also as mentorship and a unique education. Created 2 Play has performed at a variety of Augusta area events.
