Still We Rise: A Celebration of African-American Women in Classical Music
Dear Members and Friends:
The
2013 NANM Convention will focus on African American Women in Classical
Music. Our Artists are: Indra Thomas, soprano; Michelle Johnson,
soprano; and Sakura Myers, piano. Indra Thomas will be facilitating the
William Warfield Voice Masterclass, and Michelle Johnson has agreed to
lead a similar masterclass for the youth. Lori Hicks, NANM Board Member,
will be leading a workshop on African-American classical musicians from
South Carolina. She will be assisted by Eunjung Choi, and Laura Keith.
THIS
is a convention of firsts or firsts in a while! For the FIRST time we
will have a Convention Orchestra which will be under the direction of
Kirk Smith. We want all of NANM’s instrumentalists to come and play a
concert under this fine conductor. We will also have for the first time
the Collegiate Young Artists Choir under the direction of Damon
Dandridge. The collegiate students will also sing in the Convention
Chorus under the direction of Jeffrey Ames (his first time with us) of
the Belmont University faculty. This will also be the first time we
operate our new electronic voting procedure.
WAIT!
THERE’S MORE! David Oliver, Morehouse College Organist, will hold an
organ masterclass. 2013 Honoree and Take 6 member, Cedric Dent, will
lead a wonderful workshop on Gospel arranging. We will also have a
number of other workshops, including: the Sylvia Olden Lee Roundtable on
the History of NANM, a presentation on the Fisk Jubilee Singers, Grant
Writing for the arts, and forums for composers and conductors. We are
proud to let you know that we are also going to have a workshop
entitled, “NANM Behind the Scenes.” Come prepared to find out how the
National Office works and get your questions answered. The full schedule
can be found on our website.
I
am asking our members to be sure to come to all of our business
sessions. We will certainly need your input as we head toward our
centennial celebration; only about five years away now! REGISTER AND
