The Juneteenth Summer Concert Series continues with the band Christopher’s Projects

July 7, 2024

MILWAUKEE – The Juneteenth Cultural Music Series continued for another weekend, this time with a performance by Christopher’s Projects.

The band, led by saxophonist Christopher Pipkins, has been playing and performing for their fans for over 20 years, and now they brought their talent to Clinton and Bernice Rose Park to celebrate Juneteenth with the Summer Cultural Music Series.

Fred Collier, entertainment director for the concert series, met with TMJ4’s Steve Chamraz and Susan Kim to discuss the festivities.

“It’s an extension of Juneteenth,” Collier said in an interview. “That’s why we wanted to keep the cultural side in the title. Our culture has many different levels, but the music behind it is a story in itself.”

This is the third year the music series has been held in Milwaukee. The first performance on June 22 was canceled due to weather, but the series continued the second weekend with a performance by Sheryl YoungBlood.

The music series takes place every Saturday through August 31st from 2 to 6 p.m. in Clinton and Bernice Rose Park.

Next up on July 13th are Shonn Hinton and Shotgun.
