As the newly appointed Executive Director of Art Sanctuary, Valerie Gay has a lot to offer. With experience in both artistic and business settings, she has served as the Assistant Dean of Institutional Advancement for the College of Education at Temple University, and her artistic background began with her professional singing career as well as founding The Fortress Arts Academy in West Philadelphia.
Incredible artistic performance by Valerie Gay this evening at the First Unitarian Church of Wilmington, the YWCA/Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Celebratory Concert. She sang three songs to the accompaniment of Scott Ward, Honorary Minister of Music at the Church, and they made a believer out of me. Her impassioned "Jesus(es)" at the end of her final song were sung with such feeling and connection. She had the whole audience in rapture.
The Copeland String Quartet is comprised of four Delaware Symphony Orchestra players:
Eliezer Gutman, violin; Thomas Jackson, violin; and Nina Cottman, viola.
The Dupont Diversity Choir perform at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.
Nina Cottman played some charming pieces with piano accompaniment. Nothing too
difficult but the tone was rich, makes me a believer in the sound of the viola. But I can't
think of the name of that female violist from Nigeria. Need to query Carl Purdy, the
other violist I know.
