Festival of Afro-Caribbean Composers

February 22, following a morning rehearsal during which students will be allowed to "look in" and listen on the last half hour, the orchestra will hold an educational concert at the College of The Bahamas entitled "Before there was Mozart: A Concert for the Youth of The Bahamas". This 45 minute concert and video presentation relating the story of the Chevalier de Saint- George or the "Black Mozart" will be narrated by Chrissy Love. After the performance students will be given the opportunity to ask questions and mingle with the orchestra before receiving a light lunch. This event has been sponsored by the Embassy of the United States and the concert, lunch and transportation are free for all students attending. Teachers must reserve immediately to ensure seats for their class.

On Friday evening at 8:00 PM a full orchestral concert entitled: ?Diversity at the Time of Mozart? will be held in the Atlantis Theatre. Atlantis has very kindly consented to house the Orchestra for the duration of the Festival. Tickets for this concert can be obtained from the Atlantis Box Office by calling 242-363-6601, by visiting the box office during office hours or by booking directly with box.office@atlantisparadise.com.

This is an excellent opportunity to listen to the orchestra and then enjoy the activities at Atlantis.
