Black Metropolis Research Consortium writes:
Join us for a conversation between musicians, scholars,
and gospel music enthusiasts about the role of gospel music, as creative
capital and expression, in the making of the "Black Metropolis."
The conversation will cover the development of the "gospel blues"
tradition, specifically with the National Convention of Gospel Choirs
and Choruses (NCGCC) within the black community from 1916 to the
present. The convening will also act as a solicitation for NCGCC-related
collections to be deposited at the Center for Black Music Research.
The panel includes: Dr. Lou Della Evans-Reid, Rev. B. Herbert Martin,
Robert "Bob" Marovich, Johair Jabir, Bobbi Wilsyn, and Ethan Michaeli.
Refreshments will be served.
Co-sponsored by BMRC, the National
Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses, University of Illinois at
Chicago African American Studies College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
and the Center for Black Music Research Columbia College Chicago.
