Fort Collins, CO — Louise Cutler Studio CAP is proud to present An Evening With the Minstrels – Redefined, a powerful cultural event that brings together classical music, dance, poetry, and visual storytelling to honor and uplift the legacy of Black composers and performers.
This event reclaims and reframes the historical concept of the “minstrel,” transforming it into a celebration of artistic brilliance, cultural resilience, and community connection. Attendees will experience live chamber music performed by skilled musicians who share the purpose and spirit of the event, along with guest performances in dance and spoken word.
“This evening is not just another performance—it’s a cultural experience,” says Louise Cutler, artist and curator. “It’s about bringing our community together to listen, learn, and celebrate the deep contributions of Black musicians to the world.”
