The Archives of African American Music and Culture will host internationally acclaimed soprano and IU Jacobs School of Music alumna Angela Brown in celebration of AAAMC’s 35th anniversary! Join AAAMC next Thursday, November 5 from 6:00pm – 7:30pm at the FAR Center for Contemporary Arts for “From Promise to Purpose: Angela Brown in Concert”! This event is free and open to the public; space is limited.
“Who is Angela Brown? She will tell her story in concert through diverse musical styles, textures, historiography, and purpose. The performance will also shed light on materials in the Angela Brown Collection at the AAAMC, encompassing personal papers, photographs, recordings, industry contracts, and sheet music among other items. Essentially, this concert will be an archive in and of itself, as Angela’s dynamic lived and artistic experiences are catalogued and accessed in song, thus uniquely bringing AAAMC collections alive, celebrating and affirming 35 years of preserving Black music and culture.”
