Classical KUSC to help celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation
August 15, 2012
How
is Classical KUSC helping to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the
Emancipation Proclamation? By hosting some of the most beloved singers
of our time in the AT&T Center Theatre for an Emancipation
Proclamation Concert on Sept. 22.
Soprano Latonia Moore, baritone Donnie Ray Albert and tenor George
Shirley are among the stellar artists who will be featured at the
concert in the 485-seat performance hall of the AT&T Center at 1139
S. Hill St. in downtown Los Angeles. The center is also the location of
the offices and studios for the classical music station.
The concert is being organized by John Malveaux, president of the
Long Beach Central Arts Association, through MusicUntold, the
association’s affiliate.
MusicUntold presents arts and education programs and in years past
has organized an annual Juneteenth concert in Long Beach that has been
supported by Classical KUSC. This year, Classical KUSC and the Colburn
Foundation are partnering with MusicUntold to support the Emancipation
Proclamation concert, which will include 11 classical artists, most of
whom are not regularly seen on Los Angeles stages. The concert will
begin at 7:30 p.m., preceded by a lecture about the music and the Civil
War era at 6:30 p.m.
“It’s been thrilling to watch this concert come together,” said Gail
Eichenthal, Classical KUSC’s program director, who will serve as host
for the event. “The talent that John has assembled is mind-boggling.
KUSC is so proud to be involved, having musicians of this caliber
performing in our beautiful, neighboring concert hall.”
The featured artists, in addition to Moore, Albert and Shirley,
include violinist Sanford Allen, violist Nokuthula Ngwenyama, pianist
Althea Waites, composer-pianist Richard Thompson, soprano Jammieca Mott,
pianist Lukas Swidzinski, pianist Polli Chambers-Salazar and violinist
Annelle Gregory. These artists, who represent a range of styles, have
appeared on the stages of great opera houses and concert halls
worldwide. Biographies of each artist can be found at musicuntold.com
