"Dear Mr. Zick!

Hope this email finds you well, and busy with passing on information about numerous wonderful events during this special month. On February 23 I will be doing a masterclass at Bridgewater State University in the afternoon (1-3 pm) and performing a recital in the evening.

The program is as follows:

Scarlatti: 3 sonatas

Schubert: Impromptu in Ab,

George Walker: Sonata no.1 (2nd and 3rd movements)

William Grant Still: Three Visions

Gershwin: Two Waltzes in C

Amy Beach: Dreaming

Samuel Coleridge Taylor: Deep River

Florence Price: Sonata in E minor – Andante

Margaret Bonds: Troubled Water

I'm very much looking forward to my visit to the university and the opportunity to perform some of my favorite works by Black composers!

Best regards

Fredericka King
