Sunday March 6, 2022 at First Congregational Church of Los Angeles the Afro-American Chamber Orchestra Music Society, under baton of dynamic Vince Womack, performed an abbreviated version of “Lift Every Voice & Sing”, “Rumpelstiltskin”-Fairy Tale Symphony, Movement III by pianist/composers Philippa Duke Schuyler and William Grant Still “Sunday Symphony No. 3” during first half.
The excitement began during an interview after intermission of Los
Angeles composer Derrick Skye by Peter Allman from Celebrity News that
included questions to Derrick Skye from local students.
See bios of Derrick Skye https://www.laco.org/people/
The 2nd half spotlighted compositions by Derrick Skye titled “As I
Heard When I Was Young” and “Prisms, Cycles and Leaps”. Both
compositions demonstrate his concepts of inclusivity from different
cultures and the “only rule is-there is no rule”. I am looking forward
to more from Derrick Skye. See pic of conductor Vince Womack.
