Description: The Auburn Avenue Research Library, will host musician and classical guitar performer Ciyadh Wells as she performs a music suite featuring pieces composed by musicians of African descent. The concert will explore the intersection between classical music, visual art, and the African diaspora with musical pieces from composers such as Haitian composer Frantz Casseus, Florence Price (the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer), and Cuban composer and conductor Tania León. Ciyadh Wells is a doctoral student and graduate research assistant with Ideas for Creative Exploration, an initiative for interdisciplinary research in the arts at the University of Georgia. She is a graduate of the University of Memphis and the University of Louisville. Ciyadh was recently awarded a Young People For community activist fellowship and a Diversity and Inclusion Graduate fellowship from the University of Georgia for her work in her community. She maintains a career as an international concert guitarist and teaching artist. The Margins Guitar Collective is an initiative that Ciyadh founded in 2018 which focuses on commissioning works for guitar by diverse composers.
