Dear IWU,
I conducted the premiere of my wife, Marie Hunt’s new cantata “From Glory to Glory: The Life, Death and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” at the University of Chicago’s Rockefeller Chapel on MLK Sunday, January 19th. The piece used a jazz trio, a choir of 20 voices, and the magnificent EM Skinner organ. The cantata was part of a larger program entitled “A Dream in the Air,” which featured primarily original songs from Marie. The performance received a standing ovation from the 300 listeners.
Thanks,
Henry Hunt (1972)
