An initiative to support the musical and professional development of Black teaching artists in the Pittsburgh area has been launched.
The Black teaching artist-in-residence (BTAR) program is supported by UniSound, which bills itself as an alliance of organizations dedicated to creating a more accessible youth music ecosystem in Greater Pittsburgh.
Starting this week and lasting seven months, the inaugural residencies have been awarded to performance artist Lyn Starr and flutist Brittany Trotter.
The teaching artists will conclude their residency with a project they choose, such as a workshop, recital or lecture.
