African American Composer Initiative News
We write with the hope that you are well, now and in the coming
days and weeks as we all curtail in-person contact and find alternative
ways of connecting.
AACI would like to link arms with the many arts organizations
throughout the world that are so thoughtfully making performances
available through on-line means. In this spirit we invite you to enjoy
and share our January 2020 concert with family and friends. We are
grateful to our tech team for making it possible to experience the
entire concert – including LaDoris Cordell’s informative and
inspirational narration: Complete Video
To view individual pieces, visit the Program Listing on our website.
Note that this year we performed works by several marvelous
composers new to our roster: Jeremiah Evans, Adolphus Hailstork, Mary
Lou Williams, and Kenny Dorham; and outstanding composers historic and
contemporary now familiar to our audiences: William Grant Still,
Florence Price, Margaret Bonds, Charles Lloyd, Jr., Duke Ellington,
Valerie Capers, and John H. Robinson.
We send you our best wishes and ongoing appreciation for your participation in our musical journey.
Sincerely,
LaDoris Cordell, Jodi Gandolfi, Deanne Tucker, co-founders, AACI
