Episode Synopsis

New Orleans native Jacqueline Humphries calls in from Brooklyn to discuss her exhibition of silver and blacklight paintings at the Contemporary Arts Center, and her influences as an artist. Then, opera singer Valerie Francis and Father William Maestri of the Archdiocese of New Orleans promote Dr. Francis’ upcoming “Musical Prelude to the Celebration of Easter” performance at Old Ursuline Convent in town, and the archdiocese’s Lenten Concert Series (ongoing through March 10, 2016). We also hear a sample of Dr. Francis’ performance of a Negro spiritual. Dr. Francis is also an assistant professor of music at Nicholls State University.
