It has been an incredibly busy few months - finishing off various project and starting new ones - but I'm really excited about this announcement. plainsightSOUND has been selected as one of the Project Pitches at Classical:NEXT 2020!
It's a great honour to be one of the 14 international projects selected. This year's group of entries chosen by the jury covers 12 different countries, and they all look fantastic. Classical:NEXT is considered the "largest global gathering of professionals for all sectors of classical and art music". This year, it takes place in Rotterdam, Netherlands and runs from 18th-21st May 2020. It's a great honour to be one of the 14 international projects selected. This year's group of entries chosen by the jury covers 12 different countries, and they all look fantastic.
This will be the first time that I'll be able to talk about the project to an international audience. It's also a chance for me to meet with potential project collaborators, which is even more exciting.
Info about all of the pitches (including plainsightSOUND) can be found here. There's also an official Classical:NEXT promo video you can watch.
I'm really looking forward to spreading the word about historical Black classical composers. If you're attending the event in May, come and say hi!
I'm doing my best to keep the Events page on the site updated. If you're interested in where plainsightSOUND has been and will be in the future, do have a look.
Uche, this is an exciting news. I am very happy for you. Your hardwork of developing such an intellectual space of black composers is gradually paying off. You deserve it. Keep up the good work.
