Change the face of classical music in inner-city schools.
Ritz Chamber Music Society
Goals
Inspire, excite and educate the youth in underserved communities
Celebrate black composers and musicians of past and present
Ensure the legacy of classical music in our evolving society
Overview
As the non-profit governing entity of the ensemble, the Ritz Chamber Music Society seeks to foster the appreciation of chamber music through performances and educational outreach featuring preeminent, award-winning African-American musicians and composers, with an emphasis on building audiences and arts inclusion that reflects our diverse society.
Our plan is to expand our reach and increase our impact in cities throughout the United States. Through this project we will work closely with the youth in inner-city schools of four carefully chosen cities across the country. We will remember, celebrate, and preserve the legacy of famous black composers throughout history, by taking our performances to new venues in underserved neighborhoods. We need your help to change the face of classical music by striving for more racially and age diverse participation, both on the stage and in the audience. By doing this, we can ensure a bright future for classical music in our evolving society.
