Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on June 14, 2024 The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will host its second annual HBCU AccessFest: College and Career Fair, at the Woodruff Arts Center on Sat, Sep. 21, from 12 noon to 5pm. The free event will include representatives from Historically Black Colleges and Universities from across the country, so that students can explore higher education options for their academic futures. Planned activities include interactive booths from colleges, companies, and community organizations, along with workshops and networking opportunities. “Last year’s inaugural HBCU AccessFest was a great success, bringing together partners from all over the country and all around Atlanta. We are excited to build on last year’s success," said Jennifer Barlament, Executive Director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. “We look forward to investing in the Atlanta community and amplifying Black voices.” Resources to support students’ academic and career journeys will be onsite. Students will have creative opportunities to interact with industry professionals and gain awareness of various career options and internships. Panel discussions throughout the day will include key leaders in their fields offering insights on financial education, career advice, civic and cultural themes, and pathways into the arts. In addition, attendees will have the chance to shop local Black-owned businesses, vendors and food trucks, while enjoying music and more. Hours after the HBCU AccessFest ends, the ASO’s season-opening concert begins, featuring Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann conducting music by Mahler and Schumann, featuring cellist Edgar Moreau. Admission is free and open to the public.
