From the Diary of Sally Hemings
Sandra Seaton writes:
Friday
night, April 20th at 8 pm at Cook Recital Hall, MSU's Colllege of
Music will present the solo opera "From The Diary of Sally Hemings," my
collaboration with composer William Bolcom as a part of the national
conference 20th-21st Century Song Cycles. The performance by soprano
Joelle Lamarre with pianist Sheryl Lott will be preceded by a
pre-conference talk by Music Theory prof. Michael Callahan.
The
work recreates the thoughts and feelings of Sally Hemings throughout her
long relationship with Thomas Jefferson by means of fictional diary
entries.
For those who can't attend, the performance is also being livestreamed on the the Livestream website at 8 pm:
