Alabama State University professor to perform at global music conference in California (986 hits)


Alabama State University’s assistant professor of Vocal Studies, Dr. Cordelia Anderson, is the guest lecturer and performer for the 20th anniversary of The African-American Art Song Alliance Conference.

The event is at noon on Saturday (Feb. 11), at the University of California-Irvine.
ASU's musical professor says she is excited to again be on stage performing before a live audience.

“Every time I grace the stage to perform, I get such an adrenaline rush, which is an indication that I am doing exactly what I was created for,” said Anderson, who is well-versed in different genres of music from classical, gospel and jazz.

Anderson’s performance and lecture celebrates the musical genius of Dorothy Rudd Moore: A Performance Analysis of Sonnets on Love, Rosebuds and Death.

“While completing my doctoral degree at the University of Nevada¬, Las Vegas, I wanted to display the work of African-Americans and their diligent contributions to classical music through the centuries,” said Anderson. “It was this that led to my research of Dorothy Rudd Moore, a renowned African-American female composer.”

The Birmingham native said nationally and internationally acclaimed artists and scholars will attend the conference, which convenes only every five years.

For 14 years, Anderson has devoted her time and research to classical music and continues to raise an awareness of it throughout her community as well as to her students at ASU.

The African-American Art Song Alliance, founded by Darryl Taylor in 1997, is the preeminent source for information on African-American composers of song and their performers.
