Grace Farms presented Afro Appalachian singer-songwriter Mon Rovîa in a concert of peace and healing on November 16, coinciding with the United Nations International Day of Tolerance. The performance took place in Grace Farms’ glass-enclosed Sanctuary with a sold-out audience of nearly 700.
Mon Rovîa reflects journeys of humanity through his music and from his own experiences moving from Liberia during the country’s civil war to the United States. He was named as one of Spotify’s 2024 Juniper Artists to Watch, has been featured in the GRAMMY Museum’s New York City program series, and has sold out every headline show to date, including Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Newport Folk Festival.
The concert was part of Grace Farms’ Music at Grace Farms series, which invites audiences to experience acoustic performances against the backdrop of 80 acres of natural landscapes. Season highlights include a recital by internationally acclaimed cellist and 19-time GRAMMY® winner Yo-Yo Ma, GRAMMY® Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell, and a special recital by Grace Farms Artist-in-Residence and GRAMMY®-winning Canadian cellist Arlen Hlusko.
