BHM repost of the day! Here’s my illustration of Marian Anderson, whose 1939 performance at the Lincoln Memorial raised awareness of racial discrimination.

Here’s the link to my complete blog post, with a brief history, links and sources: https://blog.alleannaharris.com/black-history-month-marian-anderson/

In the blog post, I share links to a Marian Anderson documentary, two performances, and one game show appearance.

On January 14th, 1900 the opera "Tosca" by Giacomo Puccini was premiered in Rome.

These four original postcards were sent from Italy to a lady in Paris just three months after this event. Everything spoke of this "New" opera. A wonderful find.

Sometimes recordings seem never bloody ending, tiring, not good enough... but they are always worth the struggle.

Just keep pushing. 🎵🦇🖤

I HATE AGT, I HATE AGT, I AGT

WHY, WHY, WHY

WHY IS EVERY FUCKING CLASSICAL MUSICIAN LIKE "THEY WERE BORING BEFORE THE SWITCHED TO THE MORE INTERESTING GENERE"

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

I HATE THIS FUCKING TROPE AND AGT LEADS INTO IT ALL THE TIME GAAAAAAAAAAH (btw, I'm not mad at the people who make it their set. It's just how the fucking editing will show how "more cool" it is when the switch the genre instead of, "wow! they have stylstic range!")

Also, fully admiting here that classical music is NOT my fav genre. Neither to listen to or sing to. But like- as a classical musician I just- I hate how classical musicians have to repackage classical music to make it "more palatable" and "less boring" for general audiences like- TRUST ME IT'S POSSIBLE TO GET PEOPLE INTERESTED IN CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!

YALL REMEBER PEOPLE MOSHING TO CLASSICAL MUSIC (another compilation)

I'm not saying we have to only present it in music festivals but like, if you tell people "it's boring" they're gonna think it's boring, like PLEEEASE STOP. PEOPLE CAN ENJOY CLASSICAL MUSIC. IT'S NOT THIS HOITY TOITY ELITIST GENERE. I MEAN YES THERE ARE ELITISM PROBLEMS IN THE SPACE BUT- YOU CAN MAKE ALL PEOPLE CARE ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC. AAAAAAAAH

-sincerely, a pissed classical musician

Voice lessons resume next week. My one new year's resolution is to learn a brand new piece of repertoire, be it opera, musical theatre, or art song. The problem is, which one though.
