Harry T. Burleigh (1866-1949) was a trail-blazing African-American singer, composer, and arranger who sang in Saratoga Springs' Bethesda Church choir before going on to international fame. His performances and arrangements of African-American spirituals helped to preserve and popularize an essential strand of American music. Acclaimed Baritone Stephen Salters - who sings "like God on a good day ... intensely imaginative and adventurous" (Washington Post) - brings to life Burleigh's inspiring and historic music.
