Description
Harlem Voices is a powerful, deeply moving blend of musical performance and historical dialogue that celebrates African American resilience. Written and composed by Clovice A. Lewis, Jr.—Composer, Cellist, Unitarian Universalist Minister—the story is informed by Lewis’ commitment to social justice, racial equality, and inclusive spirituality. Concert performances feature four vocalists: April M. Wright, star and producer of Chicken, Chitlins and Caviar; Reginald V. Finley, Pastor, Gospel singer and composer; Ben Meyers, Unitarian Universalist Minister and vocalist; Blue Ryon, Lake County singer-songwriter and activist; and My Divas, Lake County’s a capella group: Barbara Clark, Jo Fay, Brenda Vickers Gravesen, and Laura McAndrews Sammel; and a twelve-piece chamber orchestra, bringing together a diverse cast of professional musicians from the tri-county and Bay Areas. This epic work, a story of love and longing spanning 1923–1976, begins in a segregated speakeasy in Harlem. Guests are invited to dress in Prohibition-era or fancy attire. Food, beverages, and accoutrements (gloves, hats, feather headbands, etc.) will be available for purchase onsite or in advance at middletownartcenter.org/harlemvoices. The Harlem Voices Project is a partnership between Clovice Lewis and the Middletown Art Center supported in part by California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities with additional support from community members.
