On Friday, October 26th the Kislak Center is holding an all-day symposium and celebration of contralto Marian Anderson. Here’s Anderson in the role of Ulrica in Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera. This historic role broke through the company’s longstanding Jim Crow practices. This will be discussed further with speakers Carol J. Oja and Naomi André on Friday. Among other lectures and a pop-up exhibit, the symposium will conclude at 8:00 pm with a recital performed by soprano Karen Slack and pianist Yu Xi Wang.
