“Dear Mr. Zick,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Christine Gangelhoff, and I am a professor of music at The College of The Bahamas. I wanted to let you know about the first volume of a bibliography on Caribbean art music that may be of interest to your website. You can view the publication on this site:

“We are now preparing to gather materials for the next volume, which will include Barbados, Trinidad, Grenada, BVI, Curacao, Dominica, St. Kitts, Antigua and Barbuda. Would it be possible to send a request to readers who may have information on relevant composers? I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmest regards,
