Yesterday, AfriClassical posted: “Afro-American Chamber Orchestra & Janise White Present 'Black Symphonists Concert'”. A second comment has been made, this time by John Malveaux: “I attended and greatly appreciated this very important concert to preserve achievements and heighten awareness of composers of African heritage. I noticed musician and composer Jacqueline Hairston, niece of Jester Hairston, also appreciated the presentation. Ms Hairston was the guest of Robert Ball, noted Los Angeles singer and musician associated with NANM. John Malveaux” [The late choral composer Jester Hairston lived from 1901-2000; NANM is The National Association of Negro Musicians, http://www.nanm.org/]
