TAKING NEW MUSIC TO NEW SPACES IN NORTH LOUISIANA SINCE 2016
October 15, 2023 | 2:30p
Pop-Up Concert
Join us at the Black Bayou National Wildlife Refuge Pavilion for a free concert featuring select student musicians from the University of Louisiana at Monroe and Louisiana Tech University performing works by black composers. Faculty and students together will conclude the program with a rousing rendition of Julius Eastman's Stay On It.
I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY! I FEEL SO GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE A NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE SOUTH BUT ALSO INCLUDES SO MANY PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY.
FESTIVAL PERFORMER
THERE'S AN AMAZING SENSE OF COMMUNITY AMONG THE PARTICIPANTS, FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD, FROM DIFFERENT AGES AND LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE. EVERYONE IS SO SUPPORTIVE OF EACH OTHER. BY THE END WE WERE WHOOPING AND CHEERING FOR EACH OTHER IN A WAY YOU DON'T EXPECT IN A CLASSICAL MUSIC SETTING. IT WAS SO INSPIRING!
