The performance, titled East Wing Songs Volume III, features a lecture-recital format and will be performed by soprano, Dr. Sarah Howes, Professor at Southwest Baptist University, alongside collaborator Dr. Mary J. Trotter. Musical compositions are the work of composer Jenni Brandon. The first installment of East Wing Songs debuted in Canton in fall 2022 and toured around the country.
The commission and world premiere are made possible through a Professional Development Grant provided by the Provost at Southwest Baptist University as well as with support from the National First Ladies Library & Museum. For the third volume of East Wing Songs, composer Jenni Brandon selected women that span time, age, political party, and approach to their role within the White House. The work seeks to humanize the First Ladies of the United States through song, sharing their stories and memorializing their achievements and challenges.
