Hello,
I hope the concert was a success.

Hello Ms. Harper,
Thank you for your well wishes! YES - the concert
was a fantastic success! We were very fortunate to have Virginia and
Hilly, two of Kay's daughters, in attendance for our concert weekend.
We were thrilled to hear stories of their father (and mother!) from the
perspective of their childhood and they expressed immense gratitude and
appreciation for celebrating with us. Audience responses resulted in
standing ovations for every performance - maybe for the choir itself -
yet, I believe, in response to the beauty of Kay's compositions. They
are a magnificent collection of interesting, poignant, and accessible
works. Our wish is to share them with the world, hopefully providing
more exposure for this under-performed, talented composer.
To
that end, we will be contributing our program and marketing material to
the Ulysses Kay archive at Columbia University's Rare Collection and
Manuscript Library. ALSO, we are in the process of seeking funds to
record these a cappella works by Kay. As far as we know, some were
never published, some never performed in public, some forgotten or
overlooked. We would like to change that.
Here is a link to our website with the details about the concert:
Again, thank you for your correspondence.
Warm regards,
