Elastic’s Africlassical Futures Series foregrounds the under-recognized achievements and challenges of African American composers and performers working in classical music.

In our final iteration of 2024, AfriClassical Futures will present H/ARBOR, a vocal project assembled by series co-curator olula negre in honor of the Black American Classical tradition of the Hush Harbor reflecting on grief, respite, and the renewal of our commitment to liberation for all of our people.

Also, we are fortunate to be joined by the truly incomparable Sharon Udoh on keys. Sharon will be performing olula negre’s graphic scores “Blue,” “Green” and “Negritx” in addition to leading the conversation portion of the event after the musical performance.
