Coffee with a Codex: James DePreist and Marian Anderson

An informal lunch or coffee time to meet virtually with Kislak curators and talk about one of the manuscripts from Penn's collections. Each week we'll feature a different manuscript and the expertise of one of our curators. Everyone is welcome to attend.

On September 12, Head of the Otto E. Albrecht Music Library & Eugene Ormandy Music & Media Center Liza Vick brought out a poetry chapbook by conductor James DePreist, paired with a handwritten letter from DePreist to his aunt, contralto Marian Anderson. (Record for letter (Family Series C correspondence in Box 71, folder 9), Record for chapbook, CWAC recording)
