Omar Bowey "Her Eyes Twin Pools" Harry T. Burleigh Society Tribute
Dear Friends of the Burleigh Society,
Harry T. Burleigh is well known for his singing and for his arrangements
of spirituals. He also wrote a body of art songs that are less known.
Take a listen to “Her Eyes, Twin Pools.” The text is by James Weldon
Johnson and Burleigh published it in 1915.
For all that artists do to bring these underheard songs to us, the Burleigh Society’s Artist Relief Fund
will give an unrestricted, non-taxable grant to each artist who has
performed at a Society event. The coronavirus pandemic has impacted
these artists in difficult ways. Can you help?
$50,000 in seed funding will match your donation 2:1! 100% of donations will go directly to individual artists. We are accepting donations for the Artist Relief Fund through May 15, 2020.
Thank you for joining us to support musicians in Burleigh’s legacy,
Marti Slaten and Lynne Foote
