The Kolmar Music Collective is a group of classical musicians committed to searching out and performing the chamber works of diverse composers. Their June concert will feature guest Lyric Soprano Rae-Myra Hilliard singing spirituals arranged by Harry Burleigh, who introduced the genre into the concert repertoire. The group will present string quartets of late 19th century British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor; William Grant Still, a leading 20th century African-American composer; and Chevalier de Saint-Georges, an extraordinary French classical composer, virtuoso violinist, and swordsman.
