Yesterday AfriClassical posted: “Baltimore Sun: 'Few black musicians can be seen performing in the nation's orchestras'”. Early this morning a reply was posted by Jeane Goforth on JEANE @ MYORCH, Scrollworks and Metropolitan Youth Orchestras (of Central Alabama): “We're Trying!” The above photo is one of two accompanying the post. The website of Metropolitan Youth Orchestras and Scrollworks says: “Metropolitan Youth Orchestras of Central Alabama (MYO) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing musical talent in the youth of central Alabama. We offer lessons and performance opportunites tailored for the performance level and maturity of each person.” AfriClassical congratulates MYO and other ensembles around the country which are striving to diversify classical music. Students may benefit from the many resources offered at our companion website, AfriClassical.com.
