For two decades, Classical Roots has been a Cincinnati community staple, and what started as a small concert series in 2001 has grown into a diverse community of music lovers, united in celebration of the rich legacy of African American music and the African American experience. At its center is the all-volunteer Classical Roots Community Choir, led by Interim Resident Conductor Jason Alexander Holmes and made up of singers from more than 50 churches who perform in concerts and other collaborations throughout the year. 
Community Choir Leaders this season are Jason Alexander Holmes, Interim Resident Conductor; Geneva Woode, Quinn Chapel AME Church; Marcellene Winfrey, Allen Temple AME Church; David Fowler, Church of the Resurrection Catholic Church; Adrian Cunningham, New Jerusalem Baptist Church; and Ron Logan, Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church.
