The Los Angeles Philharmonic 100th anniversary season include a
commission to composer Adolphus Hailstork. The world premiere of STILL
HOLDING ON is Sunday February 17, 2019, Disney Concert Hall.

I asked Dr. Hailstork if the title "STILL HOLDING ON" referenced William
Grant Still. He responded "In a way John. I use motive quotes from
WGS symphony no. 1, but use the word still as a reference to us and
others who have struggled and are coping in tough times."
MusicUNTOLD commissioned visual artist CJ Latimore, https://cjlatimore.com/,
to create a unique award for composer Hailstork that will be presented
during a special event contiguous to the premiere. Date, time, and
location of presentation TBD. See Pic 1 Adolphus Hailstork, Pic 2 CJ Latimore
