Coloratura soprano Louise Toppin performs a recital of art songs and spirituals of the African Diaspora featuring works by women composers such as Margaret Bonds, Harriette Davison, Rosephanye Powell; and a world premiere song cycle, "For Terry" by Maria Corley. Also included in the program are compositions by the celebrated composer Adolphus Hailstork. Louise Toppin launched the African Diaspora Music Project (ADMP) in 2019, and it now contains 4,000 songs by composers of African descent.
