This presentation of "What is This Thing Called 'Freedom'?" is an experimental solo performance that pays tribute to the heritage of the freedom calls of spirituals and Diane's reflections of them in new, original compositions.

Our ensemble students did a superb job today on our first department Porch Concert Babbitt Pavilion being our porch! And great to have a very respectable, socially distanced but enthusiastic audience thanks to all for coming out even tho we didn’t advertise this.

It’s a beautiful (very windy) day for an outdoor concert. Socially distant, audience under 50, everyone masked.
