AfroSolo Arts Festival: We’ve Come This Far By Music

June 16 @ 5:30 PM PDT

Hybrid Hybrid Event

Now in its 31st year, the AfroSolo Arts Festival is thrilled to return to Commonwealth Club World Affairs with “We’ve Come This Far by Music—Let Freedom Ring! Part 2,” featuring African American artists and music.

The AfroSolo Arts Festival, directed by Thomas R. Simpson, is showcasing a cast of classically trained artists. This program is led by Dr. Carl Blake, pianist and director, and features Bradley Kynard, baritone; Shawnette Sulker, soprano; William Underwood, flutist. It’s a joyful, soul-stirring program of music based on African American experiences, as part of San Francisco’s Juneteenth Celebration—a national celebration that commemorates the freeing of enslaved people in Texas two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

AfroSolo Arts Festival is made possible through the support of the California Arts Council, Grants for the Arts, Dream Keeper Initiative, Kenneth Rainin Foundation, SF Arts Commission, and The Friends of AfroSolo.
