Sunday, March 30th at Wedgewood: “A Musical Journey” with Dawn Anthony
Dawn Anthony is a dynamic performer, music educator, author, and playwright based in North Carolina. Known for her impactful contributions to arts and culture, Dawn has dedicated over two decades to enriching the Charlotte area through her artistry and teaching. With a passion for building connections across cultures, languages, and generations, she continues to inspire and educate diverse audiences.
In 2019, Dawn premiered her musical The Gift Way Up in the Closet—based on her children’s book of the same name—at the Fullwood Theater in Matthews, North Carolina. Co-created with S. Kristi Douglas, the production received the Best Short Play honor at Atlanta’s Black Theater Festival in 2020.
Through her organization, DNAMuzic, Dawn skillfully integrates the historical roots of music into her teaching and performances, creating accessible and engaging programs. In 2024, she collaborated with Ocie Davis to celebrate Max Roach's centennial, honoring his legacy alongside the work of Abbey Lincoln for the Piedmont Jazz Alliance in Charlotte. Additionally, she partnered with the Rock Hill Symphony Orchestra to showcase the music of the 1920s Jazz Age and the Harlem Renaissance.
Dawn’s achievements have garnered significant recognition, including being named one of QC Metro’s “Great 28” and a nomination for the 2024 WFAE EQUALibrium Award for her influential work in arts, culture, and education. She also co-founded the Carolina Social Music Club with author and musician Greg Jarrell, continuing her mission to explore and share the transformative power of music.

Statement on Israel and Palestine
Unanimously Approved by
Wedgewood Congregation
At the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Alliance of Baptists, of which Wedgewood Community Church is a member, a statement on Israel and Palestine was adopted. The statement has since been adopted by Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists, Baptist Peace Fellowship, Creation Justice Ministries, Freedom Center for Social Justice, Greenfaith, and Hearts United for Good. Wedgewood partners with all of these organizations. Many individual churches have also voted to adopt this official statement.
The statement has 4 main points:
“The Alliance has voted to call Israel an apartheid state. In this statement, 1) we affirm our commitment to freedom, justice and equality for the Palestinian people and all people; 2) we oppose all forms of racism, bigotry, discrimination and oppression, 3) we declare ourselves an apartheid-free community; and 4) we pledge to join others in working to end all support to Israel’s apartheid regime, settler colonialism and military occupation.”
