About the Performers

The Urban Choral Arts Society is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the achievement and esteem of Baltimore youth through choral & cultural arts. Founded in 2015 by Ronald McFadden in partnership with the Eubie Blake Cultural Center, UCAS allows students to participate in mentoring, regular rehearsals, and performances with adult professional musicians. With a special emphasis on music within the African diaspora, UCAS also seeks to preserve and highlight the artistic contributions of African Americans to the world of music.

Broadening students’ exposure through both traditional and contemporary choral arts practices, UCAS strives to be a leading educational presence and advocate for the arts serving urban youth in the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan areas. Through quality programs of performing arts study and rigorous practice, UCAS addresses the artistic diversity of the population it serves and provides opportunities for youth at varying levels of prior training and experience.

The Baltimore Museum of Industry celebrates the dignity of work, and can provide a forum for exploring such issues as workers’ rights and workplace equity, providing historical context for contemporary issues that impact our community.
