We’ll speak with Maestro Enrique Diemecke about Saturday’s concert and its aim of engaging the African-American community in the classical arts.
According to the 2010 Census, 56.6 percent of the residents of Flint Michigan are African- American. It’s with that in mind that the Flint Symphony has established a concert series to address that diversity.
Current State’s Jamie Paisley went to Flint to explore that concert coming up this weekend.
