Twenty four years before Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, a Black woman stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and sang before an unprecedented, racially-integrated audience of 75,000 people. Join us today as we cover the life and legacy of Marian Anderson, perhaps the greatest lieder singer of the 20th century you've never heard of! What's more... Chelsea Marie Davis and Victoria Theodore share their work on Marian the musical with us (you'll even hear excerpts from the musical!) for what might be the greatest episode of Follow the Lieder ever published!
