Recently, my friends Chris Reyes, Sarah Fleming, Eric Swartz and Brad Phelan over at Live From Memphis put together a series of webisodes for ArtsMemphis to give people easy access to a visual that expresses the tremendous work going on in the collective arts in Memphis — everything from theater to metallurgy (at the Ornamental Metal Museum) to this week’s webisode, featuring the Stax Music Academy.
In case you’re not familiar with what they do, Stax Music Academy provides an outlet for musically-gifted inner city youth in Memphis to develop their musical talent with top regional industry professionals, artists and musicians. These webisodes will give you just the slightest glimpse into the wonderful work that has been going on, perhaps unbeknownst to you, for several years.
The efforts of Live From Memphis are being released on a weekly basis to this player, which appears on the ArtsMemphis homepage. Be sure to check back on a regular basis to have an opportunity to share in the joy and excitement that the Live From Memphis folks were able to capture. Memphis, this is something for us all to support and take pride in.
