Happy 250th And Then Some

from The Second Street Dreams Audio Network · host Judlyne Lilly

We have been inundated with new music and performances of old patriotic music because of the 250th birthday of the United States. On this June 8th podcast, I’m starting a series on music composed and performed specifically for the big bash next month. This time it’s Karen LeFrak’s American Promise.  You’ll also meet Dawn Carroll who was inspired to compose Songs for Mary.  It’s about a woman who created the National Negro Opera Company and the house where it all started. June is also the month of Juneteenth and Pride month celebrations with some big firsts among them.
