Cross-Cultural Exposure &
Development Programs
"Getting
young people - or any people at all - to attend opera is difficult. Opera
Ebony significantly contributes to breaking down these barriers and opening
this world to thousands of people."
Brad Learmonth
- Director, International Series, City College of New York
Since 1990, Opera
Ebony's Cross-Cultural Exposure & Development Program has achieved
enormous success in offering opera and musical theatre to young audiences, ages
8-18. The Program is designed to broaden their musical horizons and provide
a platform for cross-cultural training and understanding.
Opera Ebony has
received an overwhelming demand for participation in this program. The
project attracts participants representing a wide array of ethnic
diversity. An Approximate ethnic ratio served through this program is 50%
African-American, 30% Hispanic and 20% White, Asian, and other. "Opera
Ebony's outreach program fulfills an important need for young minorities in
the greater New York area to learn about different cultures," says
Jean Parnell, Program Director, Board of Education, Division of Instruction
and Professional Development, New York City.
