A Tribute to Roland Hayes
In the words of Barbara Brown, Chair of the Hidden Brookline Committee “It’s long past time for Roland Hayes to be widely known and appreciated again”.
On Sunday March 15th, the Hidden Brookline Committee is organizing a tribute to American lyric tenor & composer Roland Hayes at Unity Boston at Christ’s Church, Longwood. One of the first African-American male concert artists to receive wide acclaim both at home and internationally, Hayes was widely lauded for his abilities and linguistic skills with songs in French, German and Italian.
The concert will feature the talents of Reverend Liz Walker, Emcee & Robert Honeysucker, Baritone. His great grandson Wenc Bogdanoff, a classical singer, will close the program.
While the concert is free, seating is limited so make sure you reserve a seat at rolandhayes.eventbrite.com.
Hayes lived in Brookline for 50 years and this concert is the first step in Hidden Brookline Committee’s effort to establish a permanent memorial to him in the town he loved. So come show your support & spread the word!
