#Music and performing #arts #education is being severely cut back in our public schools and community institutions like Brooklyn Music School (@BMSBrooklyn) are vital to ensuring that the next generation can benefit from everything that music gives to humanity. Please help BMS continue serving the community for another 100 years by supporting their upcoming Gala celebration on May 6. Founded in 1909, BMS has been a cornerstone of the performing arts in #Brooklyn. From its inception, the institution has stood on a foundation of making performing arts education accessible to everyone. More information on the Gala here: brooklynmusicschool.org/gala…

Meshell Ndegeocello Could Have Had Stardom but Chose Music Instead (Published 2024)

The bassist, singer and composer’s 1993 debut jolted the industry — then she decided to change. Now she is releasing a powerful album inspired by James Baldwin.
