Regina Harris Baiocchi on Randye Jones at Symposium: 'This is a great tribute to Hale Smith, Burleigh and other composers'

[Regina Harris Baiocchi]

Yesterday AfriClassical posted: “Randye Jones: 'Interpreting Spiritual Art Songs' at Singing Symposium, St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, July 10-13.” We sent the link to Regina Harris Baiocchi, a composer to whom Hale Smith was a friend and mentor for many years. She is also founder of Haiku Fest, a poetry program for children in Chicago. Regina has replied:

“Dear Bill:
This is a great tribute to Hale Smith, Burleigh and other composers whose music Ms. Jones will sing. Thanks for keeping me in your circle. Kudos to Ms. Jones for keeping Hale's music alive!
Peace,
Regina”
