Hailed by The New York Times as a “virtuoso pianist” and “steeped in Black Classical,” the program is curated by series director Dr. Artina McCain, a professor of piano at the University of Memphis. The concert will be led by two-time Grammy-nominated educator and University of Memphis director of choral activities, Dr. Francis Cathlina, and Grammy-nominated conductor-baritone and director of the New York Philharmonic Chorus, Malcolm J. Merriweather. Collaborating artists include pianist, David Cordoba, the W. Crimm Singers of Nashville, and local professional choral artists.
