In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts is featuring a lineup of diverse programming that will showcase the cultural tapestry of the Hispanic community.
From music and dance to theater and spoken word, Lifting Voices at Dr. Phillips Center supported by TD Bank, will provide opportunities for guests to immerse themselves in Hispanic arts, history and culture this Fall in downtown Orlando.
“We invite our community to join us in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month through performances that will inspire, capture and connect us all through rich Hispanic works of art,”says Kathy Ramsberger, president & CEO of Dr. Phillips Center.
