2/4/18 review of Harmony Chorale performance of Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a 2018 performance of Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream, by the Harmony Chorale in Denver, Colorado.

The thread gives a summary of the choral work, as well as some background on its creators -- Steve Milloy of the Cincinnati Men's Chorus, One Voice Minnesota, One Voice Charlotte, The Quire of Eastern Iowa, and South Coast Chorale. The thread gives some background on the Harmony Chorale's Denver performance. The thread gives some background on Bayard Rustin. The thread discusses a lot of the work's themes, such as being black and LGBTQ in America, and the Civil Rights movement in America.

Some of my Twitter threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is moderately affected as a result. My apologies.
