The Dessoff Choirs presents Florence Price's Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight

The Dessoff Choirs
Malcolm J. Merriweather, conductor and baritone

FRANZ SCHUBERT: Psalm 23, op. 132, D. 706*
RICHARD STRAUSS: Zueignung**
ROBERT SCHUMANN: Widmung**
JOHANNES BRAHMS: Vier Gesange fur Frauenchor op. 17***
FLORENCE PRICE: Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight


In its first concert of the new year, the Dessoff Choirs – led by Music Director Malcolm J. Merriweather – presents works from its history alongside a cantata by Florence Price.

The program's first half celebrates founder Margarete Dessoff and her directorship of women’s choirs. Dessoff programmed Schubert’s Psalm 23 and Brahms’ Vier Gesänge für Frauenchor for her choirs in Germany before introducing the music to her choirs in New York in the 1920s. Now, The Dessoff Choirs brings these works back to audiences, and Maestro Merriweather sings works for baritone: Strauss’s Zueignung and Schumann’s Widmung. Continuing its mission of unveiling choral orchestra works of Black women composers, Dessoff will additionally perform a new edition of Florence Price’s Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight.
