Congrats to the Sandlapper Singers, Midlands Men’s Chorus, A.C. Flora Concert Choir, and She Sings for a fantastic “Voices in Harmony” concert! It was an honor to have two of my dearest compositions so beautifully performed by such dedicated singers and conductors. Bravo!!! 👏🏾👏🏾

One of the most unique settings of The Lord’s Prayer you’ll ever hear, by Isaac Cates!

Dr. Diane L. White-Clayton (aka "Dr. Dee") has written several gospel anthems that integrated her Baroque, Classical and Romantic choral influences. Any choir would enjoy performing this as much as we did!

We had a time last night! I can’t wait to see the role my research plays in making my field better. For now, “ABD” feels pretty incredible!

Found this while reviewing my conducting videos for job applications. Why I explained our text this way? Who knows! 🤷🏾♂️😂

“Bryon K. Black‘s musical direction was outstanding. The onstage chamber orchestra’s balance of intensity and minimalism was well applauded.”
