Description
Margaret Bonds, Harry T. Burleigh, and Lili Boulanger may not be household names in the manner of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, but these late 19th-century to mid 20th-century composers are only three of many remarkable ones whose contributions have been undervalued due to their gender and race. The BACH Choir will perform Margaret Bonds' Credo with the original piano accompaniment, featuring Dr. Ollie Watts Davis, soprano and Dr. Philip W. Phillips, bass on Bonds' stunning setting of W. E. B. Du Bois' groundbreaking manifesto. The program also includes the Five Songs of Laurence Hope by Harry T. Burleigh, arranged for choir by Marques L. A. Garrett, and the Hymne au Soleil by Lili Boulanger. D?oors open at 7PM
