As shown on our website (http://www.classicinblack.de) and (http://members.aol.com/bicdance),
the objectives of Classic in Black are focused on intercultural programs, an intercultural exchange between African Diaspora Culture and Western Classical and Operatic Music conducted by a multicultural group of people from Germany, the US, and other countries;
we have been present in Germany and the US for many years, producing multidisciplinary events. In Berlin, we have access to a local TV and radio channel where artists can present their works to the greater public.

Each year, we organize the Black International Cinema festival in Berlin in association with Classic in Black. The festival is an intercultural program, with dance, film, seminars and music. For over 20 years, we have presented these works to promote and support a part of the diversity of the African diasporic tradition.

A Classic In Black Radio Program is presented each first wednesday of the month at the Open Channel Berlin, 92,6 Mhz or on antenna FM 97,2 Mhz and on the internet at www.okb.de by Harry Louiserre.
Classic In Black is also televised periodically by The Collegium Television Program Berlin and presented, during the annual Black International Cinema Film-Video Festival, founded 1986, both events produced and directed by Fountainhead Tanz Theatre, Berlin Germany.

Since 1998, we have organized several events focused on the contribution of Black artists in the classical domain, as for example, latest in Saint Louis/Mo (USA).
Besides the association with the annual Black International Festival BICB, Classic in Black Team is associated as well with the Berlin Music Theatre Ensemble "Berlinertaschenoper/ Theater Vivo" producing differents music theaters programs in Berlin since many years.

Thank you for your interest in the undertakings of Classic In Black In Concert and we look forward to your contributions to our shared efforts.
