The CAAPA Masterclass Series is a cornerstone of the Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts 's mission to “Bring Color to the Classics!” This signature program celebrates the rich legacy of Black classical artists while cultivating the next generation of talent through education, mentorship, and professional development.
In this special session at the Bridgehampton Child Care Center, soprano Brandie Inez Sutton and composer and pianist Damien Sneed lead an interactive masterclass that offers an authentic look into the world of classical vocal coaching. Singers and music enthusiasts alike will gain firsthand insight into technique, interpretation, and artistry—directly from leading professionals committed to nurturing excellence in Black classical performance.
Join us for an inspiring experience that uplifts voices, builds artistic confidence, and strengthens the presence of Black musicians in classical music.
