The New York Philharmonic presented Julia Perry\u2019s Stabat Mater for the first time this week.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Up:<\/strong> On November 22nd, the New York Philharmonic presented American composer Julia Perry<\/a>\u2019s Stabat Mater for the first time. It featured mezzo-soprano J\u2019Nai Bridges in a performance of the Black composer\u2019s \u201cundeservedly forgotten<\/a>\u201d 1951 work for voice and orchestra. Conductor Dima Slobodeniouk conducted Perry\u2019s work in between pieces by Holst and Ligeti.<\/p>\n

Refresher:<\/strong> Julia Perry\u2019s compositions achieved widespread acclaim during her career, which was cut short by illness. She was the first Black woman to have a piece performed by the New York Philharmonic in 1965. Her output is currently largely unplayed due to copyright issues and a lack of an heir to control licensing, although a lawyer hired by the Akron Symphony is currently investigating this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Digging Deeper:<\/strong> Next year marks the 100th anniversary of Perry\u2019s birth, which many orchestras will celebrate by programming her \u201cobsessively meticulous\u201d and \u201clogically and beautifully written<\/a>\u201d works. Further information about Perry can be found on the Akron Symphony\u2019s The Julia Perry Project website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
