American composer William Levi Dawson was a treasured friend and I consider his Negro Folk Symphony a neglected masterpiece. Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony will be performed with other masterpieces by Bernstein and Beethoven Jan 8 & 9, 2022 by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. See https://www.
Additionally, the CSO will perform a newly composed score to accompany Hans Karl Breslauer’s silent film Die Stadt ohne Juden (The City without Jews) on Feb 21, 2022. See https://www. cincinnatisymphony.org/ tickets-and-events/buy- tickets/cso/2122-cso-season/ die-stadt-ohne-juden/
