Samuel Coleridge-Taylor & Harry Burleigh
Baritone
Sidney Outlaw and the Urban Playground Chamber Orchestra perform
"Hiawatha's Vision," an aria that H.T. Burleigh sang from S. Coleridge
Taylor's "Hiawatha Trilogy."
The Harry T. Burleigh Society writes:
Dear Subscribers to the Harry T. Burleigh Society,
It
is our honor to share recordings from our March 2018 concert, "Lineage
and Heritage: On the Souls of Black Folk," which was an extraordinary
collaboration with the Urban Playground Chamber Orchestra.
Maestro Thomas Cunningham led a program featuring works by Burleigh and
his friend S. Coleridge Taylor, foregrounding their generative
friendship as black men producing art music at the turn of the twentieth
century.
Along with the orchestra, soprano Marti Newland, mezzo-soprano Lucia
Bradford, tenor Chauncey Packer, baritone Sidney Outlaw, baritone Eddie
Pleasant, pianist Roy Jennings, and Burleigh scholars Dr. Horace Maxile
and Lynne Foote all made for an unforgettable night.
Please enjoy the performances and share widely. You can find the full
recording of the concert on our website. We deeply appreciate your
support.
Ever in awe of Burleigh,
Marti and Lynne
1) Thank you, Bill! We are proud of this concert, thrilled to have stunning recordings of the performances, and grateful to you and AfriClassical for unflagging support. All good things, Marti [Marti Newland]
2) Thank you to all. I posted the video on my Facebook
page and it sparked an amazing discussion at The Aaron Copland school of
music with my students today and they wanted to learn more about
Burleigh and other black composers! #MISSIONACCOMPLISHED. So grateful. Sidney Outlaw
3) Sidney!!! That’s amazing and absolutely #missionaccomplished. Thanks
for loving and supporting with such passion and talent the mission to
hear, learn about, and appreciate all things Burleigh. Lynne [Lynne Foote]
