Black Cuturel A rts Digest is dedicated to the basic cul tural needs of the community, highlighting the local scene of "W hat’ s Happening" in the community as well as the total scene around the w orld, Uur purpose is to stimulate human interest, to articulate many of the social and educa tional goals, spotlighting the live ly arts and Black artisans in the Portland area. Last Sunday this w rite r had the d istinct pleasure of w it nessing again the "golden voices of M rs. Mary C o llie r and Mr.Roland H a rris accom panied by a very capable and b rilla n t pianist in the name of W alter Scott H arris, a recent graduate of Portland State in music education, is now student teaching ui the Portland area. This musical trio appeared at the M t. Olivet Baptist Church. Pastured by Rev. John H, Jackson. Mary Col lie r repertoire included works from Handel, Dunhill, Ring- wald, and Puccini, closing with our own beloved sp iritu a ls. I ’d like to add that M rs .C o llie r’ s delivery was of the extraordi nary; she handled the classical and operatic xliom with in credible musical confidence. M rs . C o llie r is one of the rare Black vocalists that interprets the Negro spiritual in the way the composer intended it to be performed. I remembered a year ago on a Christmas program inwhich I appeared as guest soloist. Her leautiful rendition of "Sweet L ittle Jesus Boy" was the most moving in te r pretation of song tins w rite r has witnessed. Mary, I ’d certainly like to hear that on record someday. M rs . C o llie r conies toustrom Chattanooga, I ennesee, u here her career started by p a rtici pating in the church choir. While attending Benedict Col lege, she was featured soloist fo r the college ch o ir. And has toured across the country as a concert a rtis t. M ary C o llie r has been seen many times with tie Portland Symphonic C hoir. Roland H a rris was the golden voice heard on this magnificent program. M r, H a r r is is cons kle red one of t tie top baritone vocalist on the West coast. And 1 am pruud to add that he makes being Black beautiful. M r. H arris is a graduate of the University of Oregon in music education. He is c u r rently a solist of tlw Chancel C h o ir of M t. o liv e t Baptist Church, under tie musical direction o fM r .C a r l H a rris. Roland H a rris is considered m ulti-talented, articulate In Piano, organ and arrange ments. M r. H a rris ’ s concert se lections included works from Bach, Barber, Copeland, and H a m s . Like most concerts that are extremlygood, ltwent much too fast. 1 would have love to of heard " L if t Every Voice and Sing" from this trio as an encore while tie audience was already on their feet in a standing ovation; however, I am just as guilty as most perform ers, we don’ t include that selection as often PCC student publishes book Sam Lehman, who is a calligraphy student at P ort land Community College, has just produced the most ex pensive book ever printed in the United States. The vo lume, "Selected American Game B ird s” , was published by Caxton P rin te rs, Ltd., of Caldwell, Idaho. The book contains 2b color paintings by David H a g e r - baumer, each with a facing page in calligraphy by Leh man. Only 190 books were printed, after which the plates were destroyed. Each of the 190 copies has two original sketches by Hagerbaumer, The book sells fo r $500.00. An edition of 5000 copies of the book in sm aller size and without the drawings is priced at $150. The second edition w ill soon be printed, Sam Lehman, who did the calligraphy fo r the book, is a retired state and federal employee. He b e g a n cal ligraphy classes at Portland Community College eight years ago " to improve my handw riting". His teacher throughout the eight years has been Jaki Svaren. A l though he has teen involved in other topics of a rt such as wood carving, making jewelry, working with enamel and leather, he finds c a lli graphy the most fac mating. With a history dating back to tie 14th Century, le says the p o s s ib ilité s and noveltes are endless.
