Congratulations to Jaman Dunn-Danger a former CMA collegiate.

What an extraordinary honor to be included on the Gateways Music Festival website alongside some of the most brilliant, musical, and virtuosic conductors of our time. To stand in artistic community with leaders like Anthony Parnther, Damon Gupton, Jeri Lynne Johnson, and the late Michael Morgan is both humbling and deeply inspiring.

Each of these maestros represents excellence, integrity, and a profound commitment to amplifying the richness of Black artistry within the orchestral tradition. I am grateful to be counted among such distinguished company and to contribute to a legacy that continues to expand the sound, scope, and spirit of classical music.

With gratitude, reverence, and great joy. 🎶✨

Honored. Grateful. Humbled. ✊🏾✨
This Black History Month, I had the incredible privilege of being recognized by Assemblymember Alex Lee and City Councilmember Peter Ortiz. To stand alongside six other outstanding individuals making a difference in our community was truly special.
I am especially humbled to have been the only honoree to receive two awards. I don’t take that lightly. I see it as a reflection of the work we are all doing together to uplift, empower, and serve.
Thank you, Assemblymember Lee and Councilmember Ortiz, for this recognition and for your continued commitment to celebrating Black excellence and community impact.
This moment isn’t just about me — it’s about legacy, service, and the responsibility we carry to keep building. 🖤
