"It seems also that at the end, when the tumult of the crowd's shouting would not die down, I spoke a few words. I read the clipping now and cannot believe that I could have uttered another sound after I had finished singing. "I am overwhelmed," I said. "I just can't talk. I can't tell you what you have done for me today. I thank you from the bottom of my heart again and again." ~ Marian Anderson

"Marian Anderson's recital was given in the Mozarteum in the summer of 1935. Many invitations were sent out for her recital, among them one to Arturo Toscanini. Enough prominent people were there for the news of Marian Anderson's artistry to spread around; soon her name was on everybody's lips. She had quietly gained the attention and the confidence of the influential musicians."~ Kosti Vehanen Marian Andersons Pianist

'Someone has said that if Miss Anderson were to sing the telephone book from the beginning to the end it would be touching and filled with deep, tragic feeling. Her voice seldom moves one to gaiety or joyousness. It can be likened, rather, to wide open eyes filled with tears. It is also a voice of amazing range. At that first rehearsal she sang high C and low D, a span of three octaves, three times. It was real singing, without effort." ~ Kosti Vehanen Marian Andersons Pianist

“Part of the beauty of Marian Anderson‘s voice is the reflection of an artistic conscience which knows no compromise with the truth. … Every part of her art is part of the art of song. All the vivid humanity of her singing she accomplishes by singing alone. She is every inch a singer, and one is tempted to say that she is all a singer ought to be.”
~ Cecil Smith The Chicago Defender News Publication 1937

"There can be no question that Miss Anderson, alike by virtue of her great, gorgeous voice, her art of song, the emotional, indeed the spiritual and mystical elements of her nature that repeatedly lend her work the character of a consecration, her dignity, sympathy, and ineffable sincerity of approach, ranks today among the few imposing vocal confrontations of the age." ~ Herbert F. Peyser's article on musical events in Europe, printed in the New York Times 1935

"A REMARKABLE VOICE WAS HEARD last night at the Lewisohn Stadium. Its possessor was Marian Anderson, a young colored contralto, who was the only singer chosen from about 300 contestants in the auditions held last June. She appeared as soloist last night before what was estimated as the third largest Stadium audience of the summer." ~ Review of Miss Anderson s appearance with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Lewisohn Stadium, New York City, by Francis D. Perkins, New York Herald Tribune, August 21, 1925.

(Official photograph of the National Marian Anderson Museum and Historical Society) "Mother never complained then or at any other time that things were too hard. She did not grumble that the weather was too hot or too cold for her, that it was wearying when a day's work was done to wait at corners for streetcars. I am sure that she labored to the limits of her capacities and beyond." ~ Marian Anderson For more information on how you can support the National Marian Anderson Museum and Historical Society's programming during our current historic repair and restoration effort, please call our office today @ 215-779-4219 www.marianandersonhistoricalsociety.weebly.com #mariananderson #visitphilly #museum #history #music #opera #classical #stage #america #unitednations #blackhistory #giving #composer #africanamerican
