Andrew Legg is the curator and convenor for the Festival of Voices African American Gospel Music symposium and workshop sessions, and the chief liaison officer between FoV and UTAS for this event. Hes is also the chief advisor to the Artistic Director of the FoV, and a founding member of the FoV Board.

Legg was required to coordinate the international artist component of the workshop, including acquiring, booking and supporting the featured artist for this year’s festival, Mr Myron Butler.
