LIFT EVERY VOICE FOR JULIA PERRY

/0 Comments/in /by

February 2025 brings us Black History Month and the 125th anniversary of the Black National Anthem, Lift Every Voice And Sing. There are many arrangements of this uplifting song including two acapella versions featured in this month’s podcast. There’s also celebrations at Lift Every Voice and Sing Park in Florida.

Composer Julia Perry (1924 – 1979) has finally found a copyright holder and a distributor of her music. After a long legal tussle, a non-profit called Vidamus has the copyright and Boosey and Hawks will distribute it.

Watch with joy as Karen Slack and Michelle Cann accept their Grammy. 

Monetizing Your Career In Music And Your Brand

Why would a business school devoted to developing entrepreneurs invite an opera singer to lead a masterclass?  Babson College in Massachusetts did just that.  

They named Soprano Karen Slack as the school’s Artist In Residence.  She spent 3 days teaching, talking, and singing.

School administrators, like Anjali Bal, say that Slack and other artists like her, offer their students a different perspective on creating a thriving business.
