WORLD PREMIERE— A Nation of Others

BY PAUL MORAVEC and MARK CAMPBELL
ROBERT PATERSON Whitman’s America

World premiere of A Nation of Others, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning team who created the enormously successful Sanctuary Road. A moving and dynamic score, A Nation of Others explores the experiences of immigrants—many of them also refugees—arriving at Ellis Island on a single day in 1921. Robert Paterson’s “quasi-fantasia” Whitman’s America presents six poems that praise nature and our role in it as both individuals and Americans.

Noontime Concerts/ Majesty of the Spiritual

Raehann Bryce-Davis performs several spirituals and songs as one of the featured soloists in the Noontime Concerts.

On August 28th at 3:00 PM Noontime Concerts in association with the Living Heritage Foundation is thrilled to present “Majesty of the Spiritual”, a trans-figurative musical experience, an opening of the heart and soul that reveals the Spiritual as a continually evolving art form, as deeply rooted in the present as it is in the past.

The program features 12 award-winning singers from the great opera houses of the world joined by the legendary Frederica von Stade singing the works of three living African American composers, Lena McLin, Roland Carter, and Jacqueline B. Hairston. The event will also feature a film component highlighting each composer.

Curated by Robert Sims, baritone, “Majesty of the Spiritual” is an intimate gathering of mighty forces, much more than simply a musical concert, “Majesty of the Spiritual” is a testimony in music to the indomitable will that navigated an impossibly tragic, unforgettable past, and a vivid demonstration of musical lineage and poetic tradition, dynamic and powerfully alive today.
