ABOUT THE Artists and speakers

J. Weldon Norris, a native South Carolinian, graduated from South Carolina State College in 1955, having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry and biology. After a tour of duty as a commissioned officer in the United States Army Reserve, Dr. Norris matriculated at Howard University from which he was awarded a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music (music history) degrees in 1959 and 1960, respectively. At Howard, Dr. Norris studied with Professors Vada E. Butcher, Evelyn White, Dr. Dorris McGinty, Warner Lawson and Mark Fax. From 1969 until 1973, he served as Director of Choral Activities; Chairman, Department of Humanities; and Acting Academic Dean at Morris College in Sumter, South Carolina. In 1975, Dr. Norris, a Ford Foundation Fellow, was awarded a Doctor of Music degree from Indiana University. There he studied with the eminent German scholar Julius Herford, as well as with Fiora Contino and Hugh Johnson. Dr. Norris was appointed Director of University Choral Activities and Professor of Music at Howard University in 1973. He pursued post-doctoral studies at the Johann Sebastian Bach Academy in Stuttgart, Germany, as well as at the Haydn Congress in Vienna, Austria, and in Hungary. He also studied with the eminent choral conductors Robert Shaw and Eric Ericson, Director of the Swedish Radio Choir in Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. Norris has also participated in a number of study tours to Germany. A published arranger and scholar of the Negro Spiritual, he was asked in 1986 to deliver lectures on that genre at the Amerika-Schule and the Amerika-Haus in Hamburg, the University of Göttingen (Germany); Kraków, Poland; Caracas, Venezuela; Valencia, Spain; and at the St. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory (Russia). Having performed with the Howard University Choir in seventeen countries on six continents of the world, Dr. Norris is fortunate to have conducted in many of the world’s most famous concert halls. The flags of these countries adorn the stole that Dr. Norris wears. In October 2008, Dr. Norris performed with the Howard University Choir in the St. Petersburg Philharmonia Society’s Great Hall in St. Petersburg, Russia. In February of 2009, Dr. Norris and the Howard University Choir were featured in the Public Broadcasting Services Series, History Detectives, in a segment concerning the Negro Spiritual. Despite a busy schedule of performances with the Howard University Choir throughout the United States and abroad, Dr. Norris is often in demand as a choral adjudicator and guest conductor at county and state festivals. He recently appeared as a commentator in two films for the BBC, namely, Al Green and Jessye Norman. Dr. Norris created and recorded the music score for a film produced by the United States Park Service entitled John Brown’s Raid: To Do Battle in the Land. He has served on the educational and choral panels for the National Endowment for the Arts, the District of Columbia Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and the Maryland Commission on the Arts. In addition to his duties as Director, Office of University Choirs and Bands and Conductor of the Howard University Choir, Dr. Norris was appointed principal conductor of the 105 Voices of History, a choir comprised of members of the 105 Historically Black Colleges and Universities of America. He was appointed by the Governor of Maryland to the Commission for Performers with Disabilities. He has also been appointed to the Board of the Prince George’s County Historical Association.

The Howard University Chorale, a resident choir at one of the Nation's pre-eminent African American Universities, is recognized as one of the most outstanding choral groups in the United States. A national treasure, the Choir gained national and international acclaim under the leadership of its former conductor, the late Dr. Warner Lawson. Under the leadership of Dr. J. Weldon Norris, its present conductor, the Choir has maintained its tradition of excellence, performing in some of the world’s major cities. Under Dr. Norris, the Choir has been critically acclaimed for its performances of choral works by J. S. Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, and Poulenc. In 1978, after a performance of J. S. Bach's Mass in B Minor, The Washington Post exclaimed, "the total effect was impressive and the chorus in particular was superb." True to its singular legacy, the choir has become the definitive interpreter of Negro Spirituals and Work Songs, as well as of choral works by composers of African descent. The Washington Post pronounced recently that the choir's performance of Negro Spirituals was "mesmerizingly beautiful." Since the appointment of Dr. Norris as its conductor in 1973, the choir has performed in the International Choral Festival in Rome, Italy; the Music Festival in Kraków, Poland; the International Choral Festival in Tokyo, Japan; the International Choral Festival in Canada; as well as in concert in New York City, California, Washington, and the first International Festival of University Choirs in Valencia, Spain. The Choir has also toured the Caribbean and France, where one of its performances was in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Having won first prize in the Habanera portion of the International Contest of Habaneras and Polyphony in Torrevieja, Spain, in August 1994, the Choir returned in September 1996 to Spain, where it participated in the International Festival of University Choirs in Valencia to outstanding ovations and reviews. As a result of its stellar performances in Valencia, Spain, the Choir was asked to present a series of concerts in Russia. Sponsored by the Glinka State Conservatoire in Nizhzny Novgorod, Russia, the Choir traveled to Russia in May 1997. The Choir also performed in the ancient town of Amaras, Russia. In November 1996, the Choir toured St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, performing and giving workshops. The European concert tour

of 1997 took the Choir to Belfort, France, where it participated in the annual International Festival of Music and to Oxford University (England) where the Choir performed in the chapel of Balliol College.

For the 172 years that Baltimore City College has stood as the “Castle on the Hill,” a legacy of musical excellence has been maintained. Initiated years ago with the triumphant voices of the male glee club, the legacy of singing has continued with the development of an elaborate SATB choral program that has garnered a reputation as one of the finest high school ensembles in the region. The Baltimore City College High School Choral Program consists of over one hundred students ranging from grades nine through twelve. The choir takes pride in performing music from the classics of Handel and Praetorius to the spirituals and works of Dawson, Hogan, Ellington and Smallwood. In an effort to reach all members, according to their abilities, The Full/Mixed Chorus has been divided into several groups and ensembles. They are: the Concert Choir, an auditioned group of about 50 students, that serves as the main performing group; the Singin’/Swingin’ Knights Ensemble, consisting of 25 students with advanced levels of music training, who perform literature written for small ensembles from the Renaissance period to the present; the Knights and Daze Show Choir, who perform jazz, pop, and show literature with choreography; and the Male Glee Club. The Baltimore City College Choir has delighted audiences on television, radio, and stages in the Baltimore Metropolitan area and along the Eastern seaboard including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Massachusetts, Maine and Canada. They have been privileged to share the stage with Marin Alsop, Damon Gupton and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra with Yo-Yo Ma, the Morgan State University Choir and The Baltimore Choral Arts Society. The choir has also participated in numerous competitions and adjudications in which they have consistently received superior ratings with copious awards and first place trophies. The Singin’ Knights braved the elements to perform at the Eastern Division ACDA (American Choral Directors Association) Regional Conference. They have performed at MMEA (Maryland Music Educators Association), and at the ACDA Voices United Summer Conference, where the choir was privileged to act as a demonstration group

for the late Moses Hogan. The Singin’/Swingin’ Knights were afforded the honor of performing for the MBNA Corporation at various venues, including the MBNA Management Conference and at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware. With the generous support of sponsors and foundations, they have traveled abroad and performed in Nice, France; Barcelona and Catalonia, Spain; and Rome, Milan, Venice, Verona and Dolce, Italy. Within the last decade, the choir participated in the highly prestigious Disney Honors Invitational Festival in Orlando, Florida; at the All Eastern Gospel Festival at Ithaca College featuring the music of the late Glenn Burleigh, Dr. Diane White, Rosephanye Powell, Dr. Raymond Wise, Dr. Anthony Leach, and most recently, their own director, Linda Hall. In 2008 they debuted at the National High School Choral Festival at Carnegie Hall performing Brahms’s A German Requiem with former conductor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Dr. Craig Jessop. On the home front, the choir performed “Too Hot to Handel” with Maestra Marin Alsop, the Baltimore Symphony and members of the Morgan State Choir at the Meyerhoff and Strathmore Halls. Over the years, the Baltimore City College Choir has been honored to perform at Baltimore’s Christmas Monument Lighting, the Christmas in Washington Celebration, at a number of U.S. Presidential Inaugural Balls and ceremonies, and two performances at the White House, including the most recent in December 2011. The choir has recorded four CD’s: Vision for the Millennium, Living the Vision: The Europe Tour, A New Vision: Great Things and Live in Milan. As members of a challenging preparatory school, the choir members must balance a rigorous schedule designed to develop their academic and music skills.

Linda R. Hall, a native of Baltimore, has taught music in the Baltimore Public School System since 1976. She assumed the position of Choral Director at the Baltimore City College High School in Baltimore, Maryland in 1987. Ms. Hall serves as the director for the school’s four choirs: the Mixed Chorus, the Concert Choir, the Singin’/Swingin’ Knights, and the Knights and Daze Show Choir. Under Ms. Hall’s direction, the City College choirs have delighted audiences in Europe, in Verona at the International Choral Music Days Festival, The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Milan, as well as in Rome, Spain and France. The choirs perform extensively along the eastern seaboard concertizing, competing and participating in numerous festivals where they have consistently won superior ratings, awards and trophies for their performances. The choir has appeared in promotional packages and on the website for the Disney Honors Program. Ms. Hall was privileged and honored to have the opportunity to conduct the City Choir at Carnegie Hall in March 2008. Among the many awards Ms. Hall is grateful to have received are the Alumnae of Excellence Award from her alma mater, Shenandoah University, the Excellence Merit Achievement Initiative for Maryland’s Minority Students Award, the Baltimore City Council’s Teacher of the Year Award, and the Outstanding Teacher Award from Baltimore City Community College. In addition, she received the Teacher Recognition Award from Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth and was the honoree

for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the Soulful Symphony in partnership with Magic 95.9 and WWIN–FM, “Honoring Those Who Inspire the Young and Gifted.” The greatest reward, however, comes from working with students who have a passion for singing and a talent waiting to be developed. Linda has served as Minister of Music and guest conductor for many churches and choirs including the Baltimore County Honors Choir, The Prince George’s County Honors Choir, The Richmond All-City Choir and The ACDA Voices United Summer Conference festival chorus, working with Weston Noble. Ms. Hall is pleased to have had the good fortune to work with the Washington Performing Arts Society – Men and Women of the Gospel, and conduct the world premiere of INDABA!, written by and performed with Sweet Honey in the Rock. She enjoys serving as clinician, consultant, adjudicator and conductor in Maryland, DC and Virginia. Ms. Hall is the ACDA Eastern Division Repertoire and Standards Chair for Senior High School and is a member of Chorus America, MENC and MMEA.

His blog can be found at musicandstroke.wordpress.com. Cornelius’s degrees include a Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles, an M.M. from the Manhattan School of Music and a B.M.Ed. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In addition to his work as a music reference specialist for the Library of Congress Music Division, Samuel Perryman is a singer, songwriter, music teacher, church organist and religion educator. He uses his music to inspire social change in young people. As a Sunday school teacher he regularly sets music to scripture in order to help students memorize Bible verses. Some of his songs are currently being recorded by a local artist. In 2007 he submitted a hymn arrangement for inclusion in the Christian Methodist Episcopal Hymnal. His arrangement was awarded first place in the hymn category and will be published in a new edition of the church hymnal. His recorded songs will be performed at the church’s General Conference that will be held in the Washington area in 2014. He earned his Master’s degree in Music from Alabama State University before coming to Washington as the first student from Alabama State University to intern in a congressional office.

Sam sharpens his leadership and people skills by teaching popular piano to a group of adult beginners once a week. This activity also helps him develop his capacity to effectively reach people at their level of need. He and his colleagues also provide breakfast and religious instruction to families in local public housing. In addition to his work in the Music Division, Perryman is active in Library of Congress employee organizations. In 2011, he garnered support from colleagues to revive the Daniel A. P. Murray Association, which had been inactive for nearly a decade. He served as its president for one year. Currently, he is chairman of the newsletter committee of Blacks in Government (B.I.G.). His vision is to inspire others to serve. Perryman recently decided to accept his call to ministry. His plan is to enroll in seminary this fall and enter full-time ministry after he retires from the Library of Congress.

Concerts from the Library of Congress The Coolidge Auditorium, constructed in 1925 through a generous gift from Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, has been the venue for countless world-class performers and performances. Gertrude Clarke Whittall presented to the Library a gift of five Stradivari instruments which were first heard here during a concert on January 10, 1936. These parallel but separate donations serve as the pillars that now support a full season of concerts made possible by gift trusts and foundations that followed those established by Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Whittall.
