Author, celebrated poet and classically trained singer Daniel Beaty (Emergency) returns to ArtsEmerson with Breath & Imagination— an exploration of the life and career of renowned African-American vocalist Roland Hayes.

Through narrative, movement and song, Beaty shares Hayes’ journey from singing spirituals in a church in rural Georgia to performing before the crowned heads of Europe and becoming the first African-American soloist to perform with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Pre-dating Marian Anderson and Paul Robeson, Hayes carries the pain and promise of a newly-freed people from plantation to palace— a voyage filled with both wonderful accomplishment and heart-breaking prejudice.
