Our annual calendar of events gives our agency several opportunities to showcase the enormous talent of our professional and student artists, to gather patrons and supporters for fellowship around our cause, and to introduce our programs to new friends of the Foundation. We use these occasions to advance the values that are fundamental to fulfilling our mission:

*TO PRESERVE AND PROMOTE THE HERITAGE OF ARRANGED NEGRO SPIRITUALS
*TO PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIP ASSISTANCE FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS ENTERING COLLEGE


Please join us for any or all of these events. We will greet you warmly, treat you kindly, and fill you with wonder and delight!!
