On February 13, 2003, I began a new journey in concert production with
"An Evening of Grace & Style". A Black History Month event
featuring African Americans in Opera and Classical Music. Composer and
pianist Barbara Sherrill was instrumental in the preparation and
presentation of the program. Additionally, the Barbara Sherrill Chorale
was the featured and closing attraction.
Currently, i am
organizing a FREE concert to celebrate the 150th anniversary of END of
CIVIL WAR & 13th Amendment ENDING SLAVERY on Sunday May 24, 2015 at
Liberty Hall-Hollywood Forest Lawn, Los Angeles with support from
Employee Community Fund of the Boeing Company, Colburn Foundation, and
Rainey/Pierson Property Management.
Barbara Sherrill now lives in Atlanta but her You Tube piano recording of AMAZING GRACE has
provided inspiration to me. Additionally, Soprano Sheila
Judson was member of Barbara Sherrill Chorale on Febrary 13, 2003. On
May 24, 2015, Sheila will sing an aria from the opera Harriet Tubman:
When I Crossed That Line To Freedom with pianist Polli Chambers-
Salazar. Please listen to Barbara Sherrill playing AMAZING GRACE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEhP1bGBOS4
Thanks
