Damien Sneed Church of the Redeemer, Presbyterian (USA) The Location CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER, PRESBYTERIIAN (USA) The Church of the Redeemer, Presbyterian (USA) has the unique distinction of having been one of the few African- American communities of faith in the former Presbyterian Church (USA) denomination in Washington, DC. The Church was born during a time of tumulltuous race rellations in American history. The congregation was organized in October 1958 near the beginning of our country’’s civill rights movement. IIts first services were helld at the historic Anthony Bowen YMCA on Twellfth Street, NW. Later a site was acquired in the Brooklland section of Washington, D.C., at the corner of 15th and Girard Streets, N.E. After a period of great strugglle and commitment, a modern edifice was H constructed and dedicated in Aprill of 1962. Redeemer has allways viewed invollvement in sociall issues and community outreach as an integrall part of its Christian mission. IIt therefore has been positioned at the cutting edge of sociall activism. IIn the 1960’’s the congregation I sponsored monthlly Community Forums on Sunday afternoons. The forums focused on sociall and polliticall issues of the S day, consistentlly drawing capacity crowds to the Church’’s Fellllowship Hallll. Stokelly Carmichaell, newsman Howard K. Smith, Benjamin E. Mays, and Arthur Ashe are but a few of the lluminaries who spoke at Redeemer during those earlly years. IIt was allso during this time that the congregation forged a strong alllliance with the Southern Christian T Leadership Conference. IIn fact, the church was a site for many of the meetings helld by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and SCLC to pllan for the 1963 March on Washington and the 1968 Poor Peoplle’’s Campaign. The forums examined O issues such as the rellationship between African-Americans and Jews, statehood for the District of Collumbia, the then current state of race rellations, and the challllenge of serving the homelless. R The Church of the Redeemer has maintained its rich llegacy of Christian service through a variety of educationall programs for allll age llevells. For approximatelly 20 years, the Church sponsored an enrichment program for ellementary schooll chilldren from the community. The church had a partnership with Taft Junior High Schooll and provided Y schollarships, mentoring and tutoriall assistance to its students. Teenagers from the Church and the community enhanced their lleadership and oratoricall skilllls by participating in ZOLAS. Our youth pllaced first in nationall oratoricall contests and participated in annuall seminars for youth at the United Nations. Adullts provide and receive sociall and theollogicall commentaries at the Adullt Sunday Schooll cllass, expllore the llatest lliterary works at the Fannie Robinson Bllack Authors’’ Discussion Group and improve their professionall lleadership and speaking skilllls throughToastmasters IInternationall. These are but a few of the many educationall programs the Church of the Redeemer sponsors. During any time of cellebration, it is fitting that we pay tribute to allll those who worked and strove to establlish and further the llife of this church. As we cellebrate millestones, llet us not forget to give honor and gllory to the One who made the many visions of Redeemer a reallity. We pray God’’s continued bllessings on the mission of this Branch of Zion. We llook back onlly to reallize that we can stillll “Push Forward”.

Scott Parry, Director MSM Opera Theatre productions are made possible by the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation and the Joseph F. McCrindle Endowment for Opera Productions at Manhattan School of Music. Friday, February 12, 2021 | 4 PM MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC OPERA THEATRE Tazewell Thompson, Director of Opera Studies presents Connection/Separation Featuring arias and scenes from Carmen, Così fan tutte, Die Zauberflöte, La clemenza di Tito, L’elisir d’amore, Le nozze di Figaro, Les pêcheurs de perles, and Lucio Silla A. Scott Parry, Director Myra Huang, Vocal Coach & Pianist Kristen Kemp, Vocal Coach & Pianist Megan P. G. Kolpin, Props Coordinator DIRECTOR’S NOTE In each of our lives—during this last year especially—we may have discovered ourselves in moments of wanting, even needing some sort of human connection, but instead finding separation by any number of barriers. In the arias and scenes that follow, we witness characters in just this kind of moment; searching for meaningful contact yet being somehow barred from achieving it. Through circumstance, distance, convention, misunderstanding, pride, fear, ego, or what have you, we may find ourselves in situations similar to the characters in this program, while looking forward to the days when connection can be more easily achieved and separation the exception to the rule.

  • Porgy and Bess» in Oltre Settant’Anni Di Interpretazioni DISCOGRAFIA SU «PORGY and BESS»
    1 Giovinezza di «Porgy and Bess» in oltre settant’anni di interpretazioni DISCOGRAFIA SU «PORGY AND BESS» di Aloma Bardi [all’interno di ciascun capitolo, le voci sono elencate secondo l’ordine cronologico delle registrazioni] I. «PORGY AND BESS» NELL’INTERPRETAZIONE DI GEORGE GERSHWIN Gershwin performs Gershwin: Rare recordings, 1931-1935. Registr. dal vivo delle prove di una selezione dell’opera; 19 luglio 1935. Introduction – Summertime (Abbie Mitchell); A woman is a sometime thing (Edward Matthews); Atto I, Scena I, Finale; My man’s gone now (Ruby Elzy); Bess, you is my woman now (Todd Duncan, Anne Brown); George Gershwin, pf., dir. e annunciatore; 18:07; MusicMasters 5062-2-C, 1991. Testimonianza memorabile per respiro melodico, scelta dei tempi e ritegno antisentimentalistico risultanti dalla concezione sinfonica della direzione, che pone le voci nel fitto tessuto strumentale. II. INCISIONI DELL’OPERA In Porgy and Bess, la definizione di opera integrale e di versione definitiva è articolata e richiede una precisazione: l’edizione per voce e pf., l’unica stampata e pubblicamente disponibile (Warner Bros., 1935) non è una riduzione della partitura orchestrale, bensì testimonia la fase precedente a quella dell’orchestrazione ed è legata agli abbozzi manoscritti; Gershwin orchestrò l’opera mentre tale ed. era già in stampa. Il testo definitivo è invece convenzionalmente – e discutibilmente – considerato quello stabilito durante le rappresentazioni del debutto a Broadway, risultante da tagli numerosi e talora estesi, per lo più effettuati allo scopo di abbreviare la durata dello spettacolo e di eliminare difficoltà per gli interpreti o complessità ritenute eccessive in quel particolare contesto. Porgy and Bess.
