Futureman & The Black Mozart Ensemble

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.
