Guitarist

Toronto-born guitarist Danielle Cumming, and American tenor John Wesley Wright from Rome, Georgia, North Meets South, joined forces in 2007 when they met as colleagues at Salisbury University, and have now performed together for over a decade. While their repertoire ranges from the Renaissance to modern popular music, it is African American spirituals that hold a central place in their performances and educational outreach programs. Recent highlights include performing for descendants of Frederick Douglass at Frederick Douglass Day in Easton, Maryland; at the National Folk Festival, and the Roland Hayes Museum's Harris Arts Center in Calhoun, Georgia; as well as online concerts for the Bay View Music Festival in Michigan and the Marlow Guitar Series in Montgomery County MD.
