Join Associate Artistic Director, composer and pianist Anthony R. Green for a special livestreamed concert-convo!
The program will be as follows:
Rippling Spring Waltz - Estelle D. Ricketts (first piano piece published by a Black woman)
Battle of Manassas - Blind Tom Wiggins (who was enslaved and a piano prodigy)
Mother's Sacrifice - L. Viola Kinney (prize-winning piece, her only surviving work)
Suite: In the Bottoms - R. Nathaniel Dett (5-movement character suite by a Black Canadian composer)
Troubled Water - Margaret Bonds (student of Florence Price, incredible pianist)
A waltz by Scott Joplin (either Bethena or Harmony Club Waltz)
The Warbling Mazurka by Thomas Martin (esentially a waltz),
And a composition of his own: a waltz set to the Ricketts.
For each piece or set A.R.Green will discuss the history and the composers, and make the event conversational, educational, and musical.
Saturday, Apr 27, 2024 goes until 04/28
