EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a programme from a historic concert featuring the renowned African-American lyric tenor and composer, Roland Hayes. Held in 1953 at the Gallery of Fine Arts Little Theater in Columbus, Ohio, this prestigious event was organized by Prestige Concerts. The programme features elegant green text on its front cover, announcing the remarkable lineup for the evening's performances. Roland Hayes took center stage as he mesmerized audiences with his powerful and emotive voice during three lieder recitals. Accompanying him were esteemed musicians such as the Walden String Quartet, Beveridge Webster on piano, Fernando Valenti on harpsichord, and the Berkshire String Quartet. This collaboration promised an unforgettable musical experience for all attendees. The programme itself is a testament to both artistic excellence and cultural significance. Its white color exudes elegance while two staples secure its pages along the spine. A handwritten inscription adorns its center - possibly an autograph by Roland Hayes himself - followed by the date "10.24.53" forever preserving this momentous occasion. As we delve into black history and celebrate African-American contributions to classical music, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Roland Hayes' immense talent and impact on American culture during the 1950s. Preserved within these inked pages are not only cherished memories but also a testament to our shared heritage in music and artistry.
