Don’t pigeonhole Don Byron because he’s playing with the Don Byron New Gospel Quintet at the Schwartz Center for the Arts in Dover on March 8. The acclaimed multi-instrumentalist has spent a career exploring musical traditions and styles to find “a sound above genre.” Don’t miss the Talk with the Artist Series, sponsored by Delaware Humanities Forum. Byron will offer his perspective on the traditions behind Christian hymns and the history of gospel music. (678-5152, schwartzcenter.com)
