An Evening of Conversation and Concert

ADC’s Fourth Annual Conversation and Concert will feature a “jazz conversation” about the Diaspora involving Delfeayo Marsalis, an NEA Jazz Master and Grammy Award recipient; and dynamic visual artist and print maker Katrina Andry, ADC’s Global Visual Artistic Director. The conversation will be moderated by ADC Board member Jamaal Finkley, CEO of Black Tree TV, a leading provider of diverse entertainment content, and will highlight special guest CCH Pounder, whose many honors include the Visionary Leadership Award in Performing Arts from the Museum of the African Diaspora (MOAD) and The Cacique's Crown of Honour of Guyana, the country of her birth.

This year’s concert will once again feature a rousing performance by Delfeayo Marsalis and his Uptown Jazz Orchestra, highlighted by the premiere of a new ADC theme composed by Delfeayo Marsalis.
