[Dr. Mickey Thomas Terry]
Mickey Thomas Terry, Ph.D., sends us this announcement:
“I receive AfriClassical releases daily and read them with great interest. Frequently, I see announcements for recitals and concerts by artists and performing groups. I am a concert organist, who is also the leading published authority on African-American classical organ composers. I am the Editor of the critically-acclaimed 'The African-American Organ Music Anthology' (MorningStar Music Publishers, Fenton, MO). The purpose of my correspondence today is to request the posting of an upcoming organ recital that I am giving. The recital is part of the Tuesday-Evening series at the Riverside Church in New York. The recital will take place on Tuesday, July 27th at 8pm. Performed will be works by Bach, Tournemire, Dupre, Sowerby, Horatio Parker, as well as African-American composers George Walker and Thomas Kerr.
"For your information, I am attaching a list of notices from previous recital performances as well as a biographical sketch. Would it be possible to list the Riverside recital? Thank you for your time and consideration.
"Regards,
Mickey Thomas Terry, Ph.D."
