South African Song & Dance
Monday Evening, March 17, 2008

Presented by Mollie Stone, one of very few North American experts in the black South African choral song/dance genre.

Mollie Stone, Associate Conductor of the Chicago Children's Choir, received her bachelor's degree from Amherst College in '01 and her master's degree in conducting from Westminster Choir College in '04. She served as the graduate Associate for the Amherst College music department in 2001 during which she received a grant from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation to create a DVD on black South African choral music. She has done numerous workshops on black South African choral music, and is currently studying its role in the struggle against HIV.
