Down from the Heavens

Russian Romance
with the Warminster Symphony Orchestra

These are the links for concert information about this Friday and the link to the Facebook livestream if you can't make it.

I gave a presentation on Nathaniel Dett for the group a couple of years ago.  It's fantastic music and I'm going to be joined by Rochelle Ellis on Dett's songs and the Westminster Jubilee Singers on some of the choral works.  It will be a wonderful concert.  Hope to see you there!


All best,
Clipper
