John Malveaux of MusicUNTOLD has sent AfriClassical an audio clip of an announcement on KUSC.org. It gives the details we posted March 27, 2010 in “MusicUNTOLD Chorale Sings 'I Dream a World' by Langston Hughes at Long Beach JUNETEENTH, June 15, 2010.” Here is an excerpt from the post:
“The 25-member MusicUntold Chorale will open Long Beach JUNETEENTH WorldWide at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center with 'I Dream a World' by Langston Hughes, musical arrangement by Dr. Rosephanye Powell; and 'A Letter from Lincoln,' with music composed by Ulysses Kay to accompany the text of Abraham Lincoln's correspondence to a Confederate widow. The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, a federal agency in Washington DC, has endorsed the performance of 'A LETTER from LINCOLN' as an official performance of the Commission.” John Malveaux [Ulysses S. Kay (1917-1995) was an African American composer, conductor and professor whois profiled at AfriClassical.com, which features a complete Works List by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma of Lawrence University Conservatory.]
