Berkeley, CA - Kairos Music Academy, a childrens' choir with a thirty-year history of community-building through song is celebrating Black History with a livestream feature of the choir's Black Lives Matter Young Artist Series. Even in isolation, voices ring out. In collaboration with powerful young women from the Kairos Choir community, the tribute honors Black artists, and engages the audience through choral music to open hearts for positive change. The compact three-part BLM Young Artist series shares a journey: 1. Artists Bring Down Walls; 2. Roots, Rage & Risings; and 3. Remembering Who We Are - with readings, poetry and a panel discussion on bringing people together through music and the arts, moderated by Dwight Casimere, and featuring Julia Chigamba, Founder and Director of the Chinyakare Ensemble and Visiting Artist at Kairos, and Howard Wiley, East Bay Center for the Performing Arts Jazz Faculty Chair and Richmond Jazz Collective Co-Director.
This event kicks-off our fundraising campaign for the month of March. Your donation will support scholarships in the arts to underserved youth in the Bay Area and the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts.
