I gained musical, academic, and social capital as a student in the AAAI. I learned about my culture and the soundscape we, African Americans, have created here in America throughout generations and is shared throughout the world.

All IU students can audition to join an ensemble

Open auditions are held each semester. No previous formal training is required to audition. The ensembles are courses offered through the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, so students earn credit while doing what they love.
