Liz Player\, Artistic Director of the Harlem Chamber Players\, will assemble the 24 instrument orchestra. \nhttps://clarecoss.com/emmett-till-the-opera/ \nEmmett Till\, A New Opera tells the story of Emmett Till\, a 14- year-old boy from Chicago who was tortured and lynched by two white men in Mississippi in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman.  His mother\, Mamie Till Mobley\, made the courageous decision to show his mutilated face in an open casket at his funeral so that the world could see what had happened to her son.    Although his murderers were never convicted\, her action caught the country’s attention and helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement. \nEmmett Till\, A New Opera\, is based on Clare Coss’ prize-winning play\, Emmett\, Down in My Heart. For the opera\, Clare Coss wrote the libretto and Mary D. Watkins composed the music. https://marydwatkins.com/operas/emmett-till-the-opera/ \nAll attendees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as defined by the CDC\, wear a mask\, and present both photo identification and a valid vaccine card.
