Ethel Caffie-Austin has taught at Augusta almost since its inception, and she is perennially our most requested Vocal Week teacher! We're delighted to welcome her back after a few years' absence. Ethel is a pastor, vocalist, choir leader, and formidable pianist who is steeped in the traditions of the black church. Acclaimed as West Virginia's "First Lady of Gospel Music," she has been the recipient of the Jefferson Award for Humanity, West Virginia's Brotherhood Award, and many other prestigious honors. Teaching with Ethel this year will be Delnora Roberts, who is a member of the Ethel Caffie-Austin Singers.
