Dr. Fred Onovwerosuoke of African Musical Arts, Inc. sends birthday greetings to composer and pianist Dr. George Walker, born June 27, 1922:

Dear George,

Greetings from here in Baltimore where we've just capped the 2011 Roots Festival (http://rootsfest2011.org/) with a melange of African healing chants, Gospel music and American folk. On behalf of our board and staff at African Musical Arts, Inc., I wish you well and many more years of success and your wisdom. Much peace and joy to you on this day,

African Musical Arts, Inc. Presents New CD Release, 'Libera,' With Soprano Marlissa Hudson

ST LOUIS (January 4, 2011) — American soprano Marlissa Hudson has been described as a 'superb lyric coloratura' (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). With widely varied roles both on the operatic and concert stage, including Bess in Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Zerbinetta in Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos, Ms. Hudson continues to earn glowing critical reviews. In an age where the classical music industry competes to maintain and attract new audiences, the very charming Marlissa, accompanied by pianist Peter Henderson, offers a new voice. The album is refreshing, conservatively mixed for intimate listening. In my opinion, the sampling of composers is deliberately mixed, as composer and producer Fred Onovwerosuoke puts it, "music by new American immigrants along with the usual staple of standard repertoire.” This CD draws both classical music buffs and music enthusiasts, alike.
