Alchemy Performs at Opening of Dian Fossey Exhibit

An exhibit is unveiled at Brenau University today at 4:00pm. Dian Fossey, author of “Gorillas in the Mist,” was murdered in 1985 in her hut in Rwanda for her local controversial life’s work with the gorillas. To commemorate the public display of her life in the jungle, Alchemy Drumming & Dance will open it up with African drumming. For some of the items on display, it will be the first time the public has witnessed them. For the library in which Alchemy will perform, it will be the loudest it has ever been. Whatever your interest, you’re sure to want to be at the Brenau library before 4:00 for the event!
