DPAA’s Stained Glass Concert—the Norma Ross Memorial Community Concerts—is part of a series of community outreach efforts in honor of the late Mrs. Norma Ross.  The concerts are a wonderful opportunity for local church musicians and choirs to collaborate alongside DPO Artistic Director and Conductor Neal Gittleman and the Dayton Philharmonic, as well as other local arts groups.

Stained Glass Concert At Omega Baptist Church

Omega Baptist Church

Harry T. Burleigh was the first Black composer to be acclaimed for his concert songs as well as for his adaptations of African-American spirituals. He studied at the National Conservatory of Music in New York, where his association and friendship with Antonín Dvořák inspired the Czech composer and then-director of the Conservatory to write his New World Symphony and “American” Quartet. ECCO—an ensemble featuring leading soloists and chamber musicians of today’s younger generation—illuminates the connections between Burleigh and Dvořák while collaborating with Israeli-born pianist Shai Wosner on a new concerto by MacArthur Fellow Vijay Iyer, co-commissioned by PCMS.
