Music
Opera, Chamber Selections, Spirituals, Sacred Music, Art Songs, Classical Music by African-American Composers, Music (some very rare) by Women Composers. I curate concerts related to art exhibitions and so have amassed a very interesting and diverse repertoire. I happen to have a pretty vast Christmas (Classics, Carols and Classical) repertoire as well. Recordings and videos are available via my website, www.yolandafjohnson.com.
