By Sally Kalson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“In addition to the southern buffets and cocktails, festivities will feature music by The Harlem Quartet and violinist Elena Urioste. They also will perform as part of the larger Sphinx Chamber Orchestra, comprising young African-American and Latino musicians performing Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart, as well as works by composers Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, George Theophilus Walker and Michael Abels. Also performing will be Broadway singer/actor and Carnegie Mellon University graduate Billy Porter; the August Wilson World Chorus, 75 singers from local churches coming together just for tonight's event; and the August Wilson Dance Ensemble.” [Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson and George Walker are profiled at AfriClassical.com]
