Celebrate Black History Month with our sign-up musicians and featured guests "Linking Legacies" with viola player Christopher Jenkins, pianist Dianna White-Gould, and lyric coloratura soprano Anastasia 'Ana' Rainbow, who are back at Open Mic Classical by popular demand.

"Linking Legacies," a group of Ohio-based performers, presents works by Black composers with ties to Ohio and the greater Cleveland area. Although Ohio's legacy of educating Black composers is not well known, William Grant Still, Nathaniel Dett, Hale Smith, Dolores White, and Leslie Adams were all educated at Oberlin Conservatory and/or the Cleveland Institute of Music.

The performers who make up "Linking Legacies" similarly have regional ties. Pianist Dianna White-Gould is a graduate of Oberlin and daughter of composer Dolores White, viola player Christopher Jenkins is an Associate Dean at Oberlin and doctoral student at CIM, and soprano Anastasia Rainbow is daughter of an Oberlin alumni.

Join our program to learn more about these underrepresented composers and hear several of their works that are not often performed.
