An Intergenerational Tribute to Harriet Tubman

The Power of One: An Intergenerational Tribute to Harriet Tubman

The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts will celebrate Harriet Tubman life with a multi-interdisciplinary, intergenerational performance based on the concept of courage, strength, and how the action of one woman has transformed the focus on women of many generations.  This project will include original, traditional, and contemporary musical compositions to showcase the historical significance of Harriet Tubman, with an emphasis on the resiliency of the human spirit as it represents personnel achievements.

We will explore women who exhibits similar characteristic of strength, courage, bravery, and justice, such as Josephine Baker, Ida B. wells, Shirley Chisholm, Maya Angelou, and Stacey Abrams.  The intergenerational group will compose, collaborate, and perform to create a performance work that expresses these ideas through music, dance, and spoken word. 

This project will feature interpretive dance by Carla Washington, project artistic director with music arranged and performed by guest artist, Paul Geiss, will feature arrangements of spirituals by Kendrah -Butler Waters with V. Shayne Frederick vocalist and students from the Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and its outreach programs.
