“Finding Cornelia’s portrait and connecting the arc of her life to the life of Hugh Mangum reminded me that each portrait he made also represented a point of divergence— a reflection of the way each subject strived daily to create or find their own zone of freedom, individuality, and self-respect.” – Margaret Sartor (photographer, curator, author)
I am organizing a commissioning consortium around the photography of Hugh Mangum. The song is titled “Where We Find Ourselves” and it works quite well topically for many reasons, including that it draws us closer together.
Season One (Fall, 2020): Online video discussion groups on 10 various topics around the commission.
Season Two (Spring, 2021): Rehearsal tracks delivered in January for participating choirs’ performances.
I have a Zoom informational meeting set up for this Monday, 8/3 at 8:00pm Eastern.
