Are you familiar with Marian Anderson? She was an African American opera singer who lived through most of the twentieth century, astonishing her audience with her emotive singing and forging a pathway to opera for other people of color.
Enter the world of Marian Anderson with your children in the award-winning book, When Marian Sang: The True Recital of Marian Anderson. The book opens as if it were a staged performance, with scenes from Anderson's childhood. The story showcases her determined pursuit of vocal training and opportunities to perform, in spite of rejections by music schools and by the American public because of her skin color. Learn about Anderson's unique talent, her rise to fame, and her tours of Europe. Experience the triumph of Anderson's Lincoln Memorial concert and her debut at the Metropolitan Opera. With engaging prose and beautiful, sepia-toned illustrations, this book will immerse you and your child in the life and music of Marian Anderson.
When Marian Sang is used in our Primary A curriculum for Grades K-2. In addition to the "true recital" of Marian Anderson's life in the main text, the book also contains informative author's notes about Anderson, if you would like to dive deeper. When Marian Sang is just one example of the many beautiful and informative books that make up the core of Music Comes Alive.
