Also included in the program will be Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s setting of “The Willow Song.” The recital is in support of the Performing and Media Arts Department’s production of Morrison’s play Desdemona and the campus-wide commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Toni Morrison’s Nobel Prize. Performers include Alexa Rahman, Banafsheh Hussain, Adedayo Perkovich, Alice Roberts, Vera Hsu, Hannah Soren, and Nic Mathisen.
