Our 11th Annual AACI Concerts are coming up January 25 and 26. Tickets will be on sale by mid-November.
"Hold Fast to Dreams" is the title of AACI's 2020 concerts. These words
by poet Langston Hughes set the tone for the music on this year's
program: music uplifting and sustaining to the spirit. The AACI roster
of musicians, along with beloved guest jazz artists Valerie Capers and
John Robinson return to the performing arts center of Eastside College
Prep in East Palo Alto to present spirituals, songs, and instrumentals
by Charles Lloyd, Jr, Florence Price, Jeremiah Evans, Adolphus
Hailstork, William Grant Still, John Robinson, Valerie Capers and jazz
greats Duke Ellington and Kenny Dorham.

Great News! We have just received a $6,000 challenge grant from three
anonymous donors. If we can match the grant, we will be able to fund our
2020 concerts. With your help, we can. Make a donation to the AACI by
December 31st and it will be matched dollar for dollar by the challenge
grant. Please donate so that we can bring more of the glorious music of
black composers to the community.
