Dance is Ronald K. Brown’s unique way of retaining African culture for a new generation. Following his 2007 Mondavi Center performance of One Shot, Brown’s EVIDENCE dance company returns to perform his acclaimed Come Ye, which celebrates the life of blues vocalist Nina Simone and was co-commissioned by the Mondavi Center. The company will also perform Brown’s Upside Down, which literally brought Mondavi Center audiences to their feet when it was first performed in Jackson Hall in 2003.
