Chicago Public Piano Tribute to Black Classical Music - West Englewood Branch (Chicago)
This piano performance and presentation will explore Chicago’s Black classical music heritage centering two organizations: the Chicago-based National Association of Negro Musicians (NANM) founded in 1919, and the Chicago Musical College, now a part of Roosevelt University, one of the first music conservatories to admit African Americans.
Piano and vocal works by renowned Chicago-based composers with ties to these Chicago institutions, such as Florence Price, Margaret Bonds, and Dr.Lena McLin, will be performed.
Vocation Listening Party - Muse Coffee Studio
Join us at Muse for a listening session of the newly released album, Vocation! We’ll be in the back room behind the front counter.
I’d love to celebrate this momentous occasion with you.
Release Date: Vocation by Julian Davis Reid & Circle of Trust
Thank you everybody for helping me get to this point in my career. The lessons, the Presence, the bandmateship, the sitting cross-legged on the bed, the traveling to my shows, the enduring my practicing, the selling of merch in the back. Thank y’all so much. I’m so excited for next Friday when Vocation comes out.
This will be my largest project to date. The record Vocation is available for presale on iTunes! I’m very, very thankful for this moment. This is the biggest solo project I’ve ever created in my life to date.
