Gozamos » a spotlight on Chicago community and culture

On Sunday, February 26, 2012, 4:00pm at South Shore Cultural Center
Address: 7059 S. South Shore Dr., Chicago , IL | Cost: Free

THE MARCH is the creative idea of Alan Marshall. In the Fall of 2010, Alan’s appreciation of African American history and his passion for opera inspired him to create an artistic vehicle for African American opera singers. Alan also had a strong desire to create an opera that would enlighten audiences about the depth and complexity of the African American experience.

Alan’s growing relationships with African American opera singers exposed him to their frustration about the lack of roles that could make full use of their talent. He heard stories about singers avoiding operatic roles because they considered them demeaning to them as African Americans.
