RETURNING GUEST CONDUCTOR FOR POPS BY THE SEA: MAYA ANGELOU
by Debra Oaks, Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, Executive Director
 

Dr. Maya Angelou The one and only "Phenomenal Woman" Maya Angelou had such a phenomenal time last year that she's coming back for a special return engagement as the Celebrity Guest Conductor of Fleet Pops by the Sea, 2001, Sunday August 5, 5:00 -7:00 p.m. on the Hyannis Village Green. As poet, educator, historian, best-selling author, actress, playwright, international human-rights activist, producer and director, Dr. Angelou is a remarkable Renaissance woman who is hailed as one of America's great voices of contemporary literature.  Passionate and exuberant, Dr. Angelou is an ambassador to all generations, races and cultures as she captivates her audience and shares lessons of the human spirit through her messages of  wisdom, hope and inspiration.  Her artistic brilliance and prolific accomplishments have drawn worldwide critical acclaim and awardi-winning recognition including an invitation to compose and recite a poem for President Clinton's Inauguration in 1992, a Grammy Award in 1994, and the honor of serving and UNICEF's National Ambassador in 1996.  She graced the stage with her mesmerizing presence last year and promises an equally captivating performance this year!  When an artist of the stature of Maya Angelou offers a return engagement because she had such a fabulous time the previous year, that says something.  Pops is indeed a world-class event right in our own back yard that provides our community with funding for year-round art and culture events and opportunities.  As the local arts agency for Barnstable County, the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod's mission is to support, promote and celebrate art and culture on Cape Cod. Proceeds from Pops help the Arts Foundation: Distribute grants to local artists, artisans, and arts and cultural organizations. Present Making Art and Making a Living, a series of technical assistance workshops and ongoing business consultation for artists and artisans.

Produce significant cultural events such as Fleet Pops by the Sea 2001, Arts by the Sea 2001/Thursdays in Hyannis, and Citizens Bank Music on the Green series.
