Dorothy Maynor in Princeton and Beyond

 Musicologist Monica Hershberger presents a lecture on the research for her second book, a biography of Dorothy Maynor, an African American soprano and the founder of Harlem School of the Arts.

Monica Hershberger is associate professor in the department of music at Lehigh University. Her research centers on the history of opera and musical theatre in the United States and she is especially interested in examining the work of singers. She is currently writing my second book, a biography of Dorothy Maynor (1910–1996), an African American soprano and the founder of Harlem School of the Arts.

Presented in partnership with the Princeton Public Library’s Public Humanities Initiative.
