Tonight, at the Southgate House in Newport, singer, songwriter, and multi-platinum recording artist turned media activist, newspaper publisher, and Cincinnati politician—Justin Jeffre—will host the World Music Festival from 8pm-2am.

The Festival is designed to celebrate diversity through the language of music, and for Jeffre (a graduate of Cincinnati’s School for the Creative and Performing Arts), that is a message that rings true in both the artistic and political realms.  “Celebrating our differences through art is a great way to develop a deeper understanding of the global marketplace of ideas.”

For Jeffre, artists can be great ambassadors for both Cincinnati and the region.  He believes an investment in the artistic development of our young people can bring great rewards down the road.  Events like the World Music Festival provide an important outlet for creative expression.

Concert tickets cost $12 at the door, and proceeds benefit Global Center of Greater Cincinnati.
