About this event
Tickets $30 Buy Tickets GREAT VOCALISTS In this thrilling collaboration with the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music, Grammy-nominated baritone Joshua Conyers, acclaimed soprano Kiera Duffy and BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Nicole Cabell—all Eastman faculty—lead Eastman students in a live performance of In Plain Sight: The Black Anthology. This rarely performed repertoire from the Anthology of Art Songs by Black Composers was recorded and produced at URochester earlier this year. This groundbreaking collection of works celebrates how Black American composers adapted the European art song tradition while incorporating distinctive influences from African American spirituals, folk music, poetry and cultural experiences. In Plain Sight brings together a rich body of art songs for voice and piano by Florence Price, Margaret Bonds, William Grant Still, George Walker and many others, in a powerful celebration of Afro-American musical tradition and its impact. Leadership support for Great Vocalists is made possible by The Barbara Bell Cumming Charitable Trust. Go to this Series' Home Page
