Joye in Aiken (formerly Juilliard in Aiken)

This year’s Joye in Aiken festival – formerly known as Juilliard in Aiken – promises to be one of the biggest and best ever with world-class artists performing for the public in venues in Aiken and engaging with school children through the Joye Outreach Program.

Several fabulous and popular artists are returning this year, including trumpeter Riley Mulherkar and the piano duo of Anderson and Roe. We were especially excited to announce the finale concert featuring Tony-nominated baritone Norm Lewis. And for dance lovers, Bodytraffic, a contemporary award winning dance troupe, will be performing on Sunday evening.
