Malveaux of MusicUNTOLD.com sends this review of a program including
two composers featured at AfriClassical.com, Adolphus C. Hailstork
and Margaret A. Bonds:
“Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc &
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. presented The Twenty-Seventh
Commemorative Concert in honor of Dr. MLK Jr. on Sunday, January 15,
2012 at Trinity Baptist Church, Los Angeles, Ca.
The concert featured soprano
Rebecca Eaddy, 2011 vocal winner of NANM national competition
(accompanied by pianist Althea Waites), The Inner City Youth
Orchestra of Los Angeles (Charles Dickerson conductor), The Alpha
Kappa Alpha Chorus (Dr. Hansonia Caldwell director), The Delta Sigma
Theta Choraliers (Danellen Joseph director), The United Methodist
Male Chorus (Perry V Hayes director) and instrumentalist Carolyn
Kimble-Singleton (piano), Alpha Snell (piano), Perry V. Hayes (organ
and piano), and Dr. Hansonia Caldwell (piano and organ).
Rebecca Eaddy exhibited poise and
promising skills singing composers Wolfgang A. Mozart, Adolphus
Hailstork, Undine Smith Moore, Moses Hogan, and Margaret Bonds.
The
highlight of the evening was soprano Jennifer George (AKA) singing
"My Soul's Been Anchored in De Lord" (spiritual arrangement
by Glenn Jones) and backing from the combined choirs (The Martin
Luther King Jr. Celebration Choir) and ICYOLA.”

Thanks for the news about the Martin Luther King program. I believe that one of the numbers was my spiritual arrangement of FIX ME, JESUS! Do I have the right program?
