In honor of Black History Month, renowned composer/arranger and pianist Jacqueline Butler Hairston presents a program of works by female African American composers. Interpretive soprano Henrietta Davis and recording flutist Laurel Zucker join Hairston to offer compelling renditions of works including Hairston’s own song trilogy "On Consciousness Streams". The influence of African American jazz and spirituals, as well as European classical music, will be explored in this gorgeously performed concert that will include lyrical renditions of poetry by Alice Walker, author of "The Color Purple".
In advance of the Classical Concert, enjoy a docent-led tour by African American artists to help put the music in context with the art. Prelude Tours are open to all visitors.
Space is limited, and advance registration is recommended.
