Challenge the Stats will present a free concert in Atlanta on Saturday, February 24 at 7 p.m. celebrating
diversity in the classical performing arts. The concert will feature 11
high caliber African American and Latino instrumentalists, including
performances by harpist Angelica Hairston, a cello sextet led by Clayton
State University cello instructor Ismail Akbar, a world-premiere
composition for harp and tenor by Joel Thompson, and commentary from Dr.
Paula Grissom, Chair of Music at Spelman College. The concert will be
held at First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, 1328 Peachtree Street NW,
Atlanta.
A $10 pre-concert Dinner and Discussion opens the event at 5:30 p.m. as NPR Personality (WABE 90.1 FM) Lois Reitzes moderates a panel of Atlanta arts leaders discussing tangible thoughts and ideas on creating a more diverse, inclusive and equitable arts field.
Challenge
the Stats was founded by Angelica Hairston, Artistic Director of the
Urban Youth Harp Ensemble. The concert is partly-funded by the inaugural
NPR From The Top Arts Leadership Grant.
