Saturday, November 9 at 7:00pm

The twenty-year period from the 1930's through 1950's saw a flowering of artistic expression and community organizing in the Chicago African-American community. Artistic director Rick Ferguson will guide listeners through representative music of Florence Price (1887-1953)and Margaret Bonds (1913-1972)  as well as selected works from the next generation of Black women composers who carry on the work of this period.

 

Sophia Heinz (mezzo-soprano), Rachel Brown (violin) and Veronica Kolegas (cello) will join Mr. Ferguson in this eclectic and fascinating program.
