Harry T. Burleigh

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor



THE HARRY T. BURLEIGH SOCIETY


cordially invites you to


THE ANNUAL MARCH CONCERT

THIS YEAR, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH URBAN PLAYGROUND CHAMBER ORCHESTRA, WE CELEBRATE THE COLLABORATION AND FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN BURLEIGH AND THE AFRO-BRITISH COMPOSER SAMUEL COLERIDGE TAYLOR.  

The friendship of these African American and Afro-British men provided mutual support that inspired them to create works that embraced underrepresented black musical and literary themes which shaped turn of the 20th century culture. With a transatlantic approach, they were active in the intellectual circles of their day, corresponding with Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. This concert invites listeners to consider their production of western music, not outside, but within the veil. 


To include: 
S. Coleridge Taylor: 4 Novelletten 
S. Coleridge Taylor: Excerpts from the Hiawatha trilogy 
Harry T. Burleigh: From the Southland
Harry T. Burleigh: Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray,
Were You There, Glory of the Day was in her face, and Your Eyes So Deep.




PLEASE JOIN US ON MARCH 9TH 2018 AT 8PM
CALVARY CHURCH-ST. GEORGE’S PARISH
277 PARK AVENUE NEW YORK CITY

Dear Bill,

You are such an important supporter. Thank you for this lovely post about our upcoming concert. I wish we could have shared it with Dominique Rene de Lerma. Rehearsals have gone very well. The music is beautiful and the musicians are representing Coleridge-Taylor and Burleigh well. 

We will be sure to share the video recording with you. 

All best wishes,

Marti [Marti Newland]
