Engage "in the lively art of conversation."
What is Black Muse?
BLACK MUSE is a weekly 30-minute video podcast series exploring the rich genealogy of Black culture. It's where creatives from the worlds of jazz, hip hop, gospel, politics, sports, fashion, theater, and literature engage "in the lively art of conversation."
BLACK MUSE is hosted by Clarence Waldron, Doris Davenport, and David Houston and created and produced by Howard Sandifer for Chicago West Community Music Center (CWCMC) with funding support from the Driehaus Foundation.
Sundays at 5:30 pm CST on the BlackMuse YouTube Channel.
Music stimulates personal and educational growth through artistic and cultural expression.
Our leadership team brings years of experience to music education. We’re results-driven, with a proven record of previous successes.
“[CWCMC] has given our children an opportunity to dream, grow and share the God given gifts within them; while allowing us, the parents the opportunity to encourage, support, show pride, smile, and yes sometimes even cry tears of joy, at the beautiful music we get to enjoy.”
— CYNTHIA ANTHONY-HARRIS, CWCMC Parent
