Ladies Only” Concert by artist James Dargan

Take a journey with artist James Dargan, where he centers female composers through a music and spoken word celebration! The concert will be dedicated to Alice Hinton (1869-1951), a successful Andover businesswoman, concert organizer, and musician, who performed at Andover Baptist Church.

Artist James Dargan presents his Passion Program “Ladies Only” that celebrates little-known female composers from the 19th century to the present. It is music composed by women, many of whom are all too often spoken of in connection with the men in their lives. Each Passion Program combines music and spoken word to take audiences on a journey that speaks to a specific social theme with music of different genres, interwoven with commentary on how they connect to our own lives.

James is an accomplished baritone, composer, and violinist based in New York City. He has been a musician since he was a child, and has shared his voice and carefully curated programs all over the US and Europe. James also teaches on spirituals and other African American music, and is honored to walk in his family tradition of telling truthful stories. He also preaches and leads church services, including at North Parish of North Andover and UU Haverhill.

The concert is FREE and sponsored by the North Andover African American History Committee and Andover Baptist Church. To reserve a seat, and for more information: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1986591006177?aff=oddtdtcreator
