The next installment of our Beyond the Frames Programming explores jazz as a medium for telling our portrait subjects’ stories. Our three upcoming concerts illuminate and celebrate the lives, visions, and accomplishments of Sojourner Truth, William and Martha Brown, and Frederick Douglass. This series will be loved by jazz aficionados, historians, artists, and really, everyone!

Ruth Naomi Floyd’s, Frederick Douglass Jazz Works, is Floyd’s latest body of compositions for septet, based on the speeches and writings of the great leading orator, abolitionist, writer, publisher, and statesman. This body of work won the Best Vocal Recital Award at the San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice Awards in 2020-2021
