GEORGIA LASTER branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians
presented their 20th annual SPOTLIGHT on YOUTH TALENT SHOWCASE at
Crenshaw United Methodist Church, Los Angeles, Sunday December 18, 2016.
With apology to the eleven (9) talented young jazz and classical
artists demonstrating instrumental or vocal skills, this commentary is
to acknowledge the Spotlight on Youth Committee members. Dorthy M.
Jackson-Hayes-Chairperson, Gloria Lindsay-co-chair, Fred Johnson, Sandra
Wheeler, Dera Tatum, James S Bryant, Yolanda West, Henrietta Fortson
(President of GLB), Frederick Jackson (and others).
Each performing artist
received a stipend for their SPOTLIGHT performance. Donations do not
cover expenses and volunteer Committee members also donate money to meet
expenses of the program. Georgia Laster branch SPOTLIGHT on YOUTH
TALENT SHOWCASE is an annual event and I invite everyone to attend next
year. The 2016 program included professional soprano Jennifer Lindsay
and accomplished USC violin recording artist Annelle Kazumi Gregory.

years. I was privileged to sit next to Dorothy during the 2016 SPOTLIGHT
program and the reception. Annelle Kazumi Gregory gave both of us a
Christmas present at the reception. Thank you Annelle. http://annelleviolin.com/
