John Malveaux: 'According to a recent email from Byron Hanson, archivist at Interlochen Center for the Arts, Ulysses Kay visited Interlochen in April, 1968.'
John Malveaux has since written:
Maestro Byron Hanson also mentioned "I won't claim Interlochen has been
especially generous in performing music by African or African-American
composers, but for the record, I have previously alluded to the early
William Grant Still performances in the 1930s and '40s. More recently we
have performed Adolphus Hailstork's Symphony No. 2, and gave the world
premiere of Alvin Singleton's "Umoja: Each One off Us Counts" at the 1996
Olympic Arts Festival in Atlanta. I remember conducting works by Billy
Taylor, Olly Wilson, and Jonathan Holland,and there may be others of
course, but I just wanted to mention those I can recall!" See http://www.interlochen.org/person/byron-hanson
