Lift Ev'ry voice: Celebrating the Music of Black americans
The Eileen Southern Initiative is pleased to announce a series of events honoring pioneering music scholar Eileen Southern (1920-2002), the first Black woman tenured at Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The Aeolians of Oakwood University (Huntsville, AL), an award-winning choral ensemble, will travel to Cambridge April 7-9, 2022, for a weekend residency. The group was founded by Eva Beatrice Dykes, a professor of English at Oakwood who in 1921 had become the first Black woman to earn a doctoral degree from Radcliffe College (the women's college affiliated with Harvard). A webinar, concert, masterclass, and community sing in Southern's honor will help to share her story and to continue her work of celebrating the rich legacy of Black music in the United States. All events are free and open to the public. The concert is free but tickets are required.
