Roy "Futureman" Wooten, five time Grammy award winning performer with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, has now embarked upon a new creative journey with The Black Mozart Ensemble. Bridging the past with the present for a better future, Futureman is composing, producing, and directing a visionary new project entitled “The Black Mozart.” This project celebrates the life and music of the Black Mozart; Joseph Boulogne de Saint Georges. The 18th Century maestro used his abilities to find fame and fortune, yet as the son of a slave, fought against racism all his life. The Black Mozart Ensemble is a group of young, virtuosic performers who are pushing ensemble playing itself to new heights by combining classical with funk, jazz, and bluegrass.
“fast-paced, lively, vibrant and exciting”
Daniel Baron - The Justice
“Every year, Black History Month attempts to highlight people of black heritage who have helped the United States to become what it is today. Futureman is one of the musicians who have contributed to this great legacy.”
Rodney Henry - Sidelines
