George Walker (1922-2018)
Dr. Mickey Thomas Terry writes:
On Tuesday, February 8, Mickey Thomas Terry's WETA podcast
interview on the life and legacy of George Walker will air. This
interview is one of many events this year in celebration of the
centenary of George Walker, the first Black ever to be awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for Music.
Dr. Terry shared a 25-year friendship with the composer, recorded
his organ works, and published an interview with Walker that appears in The Music Quarterly (Fall, 2000).
The podcast will be available in podcast apps (Apple, Spotify,
etc.) and online. It will be promoted on WETA's social media, and over
the air for two weeks in a 30-second ad on Classical WETA, 90.9fm.
