Unity Through Music – A Virtual Concert Celebrating the Black Music Community
Date: September 27, 2020
Time: 5:00 PM ET
Location: Virtual Via FaceBook Live
The Pittsburgh Music Community believes, without reservation, that Black lives matter. We stand together against the injustices of systematic racism and aim to help cultivate a community where all voices are heard, all people are loved, and all are seen as equal.
As we do this, we reflect on the injustice of our own industry – specifically, the neglect and oppression of composers of color. We created this virtual performance of classical, jazz, and gospel music in celebration of these composers and the Black music community as a whole. Proceeds from this donation-based concert will benefit our host, Ebenezer Baptist Church, and the Afro-American Music Institute Inc.”
