The I, Too, Sing America Project is a multi-year initiative to elevate African American musical voices through a collaborative partnership with the Heritage Signature Chorale. Live concerts, panel discussions, and educational opportunities will shine a light on the contributions of African American musicians over the centuries.
In addition to live music presentations, CCS will curate and produce a video series of interviews with African American musicians and composers that will be hosted on our website alongside educational resources, free of charge to all.
Project timeframe: This is an extended project with opportunities for multi-year sponsorship.
Women are critically underrepresented in the field of music composition, so we are doing our part to encourage emerging voices and to highlight the work of well-established women composers. Rebels with a Cause is an exciting concert project that includes three world premiere musical works commissioned for CCS on the theme of voting rights. The weekend of events includes a composer-conductor masterclass for women and a moderated panel discussion with the composers. A documentary video about the concert and related events will be released following the project’s conclusion.
Project timeframe: March 2022
