When SCAD’s artistic director of executive ensembles Mike Evariste and his wife, choreographer and Savannah College of Art and Design professor Tiffany Evariste, first envisioned the Black Artists in Music showcase featuring the school’s elite student performance group the Bee Sharps, they imagined something small and intimate. But for a couple who spent their early 20s acting in national and international Broadway shows and later became co-producers of live music events for W Hotels, small isn’t first nature.
“Us being who we are, it just turned into a bigger, more exciting event,” Mike Evariste said. “The response was so overwhelming (the first year in 2021) … It was undeniable what our team had created.”
