The Covid-19 Cancellation Monster


    Well, Covid-19 changed a few things around here, starting with the focus of the Tubman project. There were supposed to be two performances of the choral work this weekend, both of which were cancelled. The music is very beautiful and complex. I don't remember if I posted a link to a recording of it, so here it is: http://www.pavanepublishing.com/sounds/P8011.mp3

  Those dates were also going to feature ten of the silhouette images that my classes created with Harriet Tubman's life and journey as the subject. We were all ready to go! It's not a real loss, because we all learned a lot in the process, and the work will be shown next fall, both in town and in our university gallery. Still, it's a little disappointing.

 The silver lining is that I feel really lucky to have been a part of this group and to get to learn and sing this with an amazing conductor. Maybe when this all blows over, we can perform it. Here are two more images from the set:
