Taylor, Jr., and the UT Opera Theatre in a performance of "Jesus my consolation" from their November production of The Crucible.
The event project manager is Knoxville Opera Board member Michael A. Rodgers, a solo artist with the company and a faculty member at Maynard Elementary School. Directing the program will be Knoxville Opera Maestro Brian Salesky and Jeanie M. Turner Melton, the Music Director and Conductor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church Mass Choir.
