Louise Toppin sings Burleigh and more: SUNDAY April 16, 2023

Apr. 16th at 3:00pm at the First Universalist Society in Franklin

Presents the music of: Harry T. Burleigh Come and hear celebrated soprano Louise Toppin perform music by Harry T. Burleigh with LiveARTS artistic director, pianist Ann Sears. SUNDAY, April 16 at 3:00 PM Harry T. Burleigh (1866-1949) was a celebrated American composer and baritone, known particularly for his many compositions and arrangements for voice. While a student at the National Conservatory of Music, Burleigh worked closely with composer Antonin Dvorak. It was through their friendship that Dvorak became introduced to the musical culture of Black Americans. Burleigh is noted for making many contributions to the American art song genre, and in doing so helping to define its character. He is known particularly for his numerous concert arrangements of traditional African-American spirituals. A significant figure in the American music scene of the early 1900's, Burleigh was also a founding member of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP).   Sources: Britannica, Library of Congress Sunday, April 16  -  Time: 3:00 PM Location: First Universalist Society of Franklin, 262 Chestnut St., Franklin MA Tickets     Adults- $25.00;  Students (18 and under)- by donation Tickets available at the door  Accessible Parking and Building  Visit our website liveartsma.org to purchase tickets on-line and for more information.
