Juneteenth Jazz Brunch & Fundraiser
Missouri-based Center for Authentic Listening & Learning (C.A.L.L.) will host their Annual Juneteenth brunch at the Church on Del Mar on Friday, June 19th from 11 AM to 2 PM. The event is their signature, annual fundraiser and supports their initiatives for the historic 244-acres of land at Lake Placid, MO. The brunch will feature an in-person panel discussion titled “From the Hospital to the Land: Reclaiming Wellness on Missouri’s First Black Resort.” The conversation will explore how Black communities have historically created spaces of refuge, restoration, and collective healing in response to racialized systems that have shaped health and well-being. Arianna Blakemore, Dr. Kaleea Lewis, and Dr. Will Ross are the featured panelists.
In addition to the discussion, the event will include a live jazz ensemble performance led by Willem von Hombract. 2026 marks the fourth year of the gathering, which the organization launched virtually during the Covid-19 years. It has organically evolved to an annual celebration honoring the roots of jazz over brunch in the heartland state of Missouri.
