Listen "Lift Every Voice for Julia Perry. On Classical Music in Color"
Episode Synopsis
February 2025 brings us Black History Month and the 125th anniversary of the Black National Anthem, Lift Every Voice And Sing. There are many arrangements of this uplifting song including two acapella versions featured in this month’s podcast. There’s also celebrations at Lift Every Voice and Sing Park in Florida. Composer Julia Perry (1924 – 1979) has finally found a distributor of her music. After a long legal tussle, a non-profit called Vidamus has the copyright and Boosey and Hawks will distribute it. Watch with joy as Karen Slack and Michelle Cann accept their Grammy.
