Future Afrocentric Voices
Much of this site covers African Americans who have contributed to "Classical" music in the past. However, this Future Voices page exists to help point to the future. It serves as a means for networking between other vocalists, composers, teachers, researchers, musicians' managers, entertainment attorneys or other music industry professionals, etc. It also reminds us that we who have chosen this still lightly travelled road do not journey it alone.
There are now 509 names on the Future Voices list!!
During March, "Afrocentric Future Voices" will be featured on the Afrocentric Voices Webcasting Service (AVWS). Go to the direct link at http://www.live365.com/stations/vulcanlyre?site=live365 .
