About this Event
Conceived in 2018, the My Sister's Keeper team of performing scholars continues the exploration of African American women composers through the lens of African American women performing scholars.
After presenting with rousing success for national audiences via the National Association of Teachers of Singing and the National Opera Association, Drs. Minnita Daniel-Cox, Alexis Davis-Hazell, Marcía Porter, and Rosalyn Wright Floyd are pleased to present their My Sister's Keeper: Dunbar Edition.
Called by Mary Church Terrell the "poet laureate of the Negro race," Paul Laurence Dunbar was seminal in establishing the African American literary voice and sparked the flame that would later become the Harlem renaissance. His vivid imagery, brilliance with both standard English and dialect, and frequent use of the Black, American female perspective make him a favorite of African American women composers such as Florence Price, Zenobia Powell Perry, Irene Britton Smith, Betty Jackson King, and many more.
This recital program is followed by a discussion panel and Q&A
