In the Stacks: African American Art Song
Advertisement
Experience an evening of powerful music as singers from the Peabody Institute’s Vocal Studies department, led by Associate Professor Carl DuPont, present a curated recital of art songs by African American composers. Blending live performance with fresh scholarly perspective, the program will explore how race, gender, sexuality, and class have shaped these works and their reception.
Through brief contextual insights, the student performers will connect each piece to its historical moment, revealing how these songs respond to political realities while expanding and challenging the art song tradition.
Join us for a thought-provoking performance that offers a layered exploration of music rooted in the Black experience and affirms the ongoing relevance of this repertoire in shaping our understanding of the United States’ complex past.
Registration will open at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 10 on events.jhu.edu
