Concert, Exhibit to Honor the Career of Virginia Composer Adolphus Hailstork

Old Dominion University
Norfolk, VA

     An exhibit and chamber music concert at Old Dominion University will honor
the musical career of internationally known composer, music laureate for the
Commonwealth of Virginia and professor of music
at Norfolk State University Adolphus Hailstork.
     "Kaleidoscope: The Musical World of Adolphus Hailstork," will open Sunday,
Feb. 13, in the
Diehn Composers Room in the Diehn Fine and Performing Arts Center at Old
Dominion University, Norfolk, VA.
The exhibit will open at 2:00 p.m. followed by a concert at 3:00 p.m. in the
Chandler Recital Hall.
Both the concert and exhibit are free and open to the public. Seating is limited
for the concert. Please make reservations for tickets by calling 757-683-4175.
     The exhibit, which runs through March 1, provides an overview of
Hailstork's creative process,
from small works for one voice or instrument to full chorus and orchestral
works. Items on display will include photographs, scores and memborabilia.
     Directed by Hailstork, the concert will include musicians Lorraine Bell,
Robert Brown,
Leslie Neal Douglas, F. Gerard Errante, Amadi Hummings, Lee Jordan-Anders, Annie
Loud, Lee Teply,
Frank Ward, Jeanette Winsor and Agnes Mobley Wynne.
     Hailstork has written numerous works for chorus, solo voice, various
chamber ensembles, band,
and orchestra. Among his compositions are "Celebration," which has been recorded
by the Detroit Symphony;
"Out Of The Depths," which has won the 1977 Belwin-Mills Max Winkler Award
presented by the Band Directors National Association; "American Guernica", which
received first prize in the Virginia College Band Directors'
1983 national contest; and "Mourn Not The Dead," which received the 1971 Ernest
Bloch Award for choral
composition.
     His compositions have been performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and
the Boys Choir
of Harlem and his commissions include works for the Baltimore Symphony, Chicago
Symphony, the American
Guild of Organists, the St. Louis Opera Theater and the Lyric Opera of Kansas
City.
     Hailstork received his doctorate in composition from Michigan State
University, where he was a
student of H. Owen Reed. He holds degrees from the Manhattan School of Music and
Howard University.
He currently serves as professor of music at Norfolk State University.
     The exhibit and concert are part of a continuing series in which the Diehn
Composers Room highlights the work and collections of 20th-century American
composers. "Kaleidoscope: The Musical World of Adolphus Hailstork" is funded by
a generous grant from the Norfolk Foundation.
