George Kilpatrick reads the words of Harriet Tubman at the Skaneateles Festival, not far from a stop on the Underground Railroad.
As part of the Skaneateles Festival’s “Not Your Mother’s Chamber Music Concert,” baritone Tony Cook sang several Civil War-era songs and George Kilpatrick read speeches by Frederick Douglass, Beethoven and Harriet Tubman. Below listen to a clip of GK reading a speech by Abraham Lincoln.

Monica Ellis, Jeff Scott, Mariam Adam, George Kilpatrick and David Ying at a post concert reception in Dobson Hall, First Presbyterian Church, Skaneateles.
Imani Winds, the Grammy-nominated chamber music ensemble, held a series of concerts in the area this week, including The Red House in Syracuse on Wednesday, and last night at the First Presbyterian Church in Skaneateles. Their relevant and authentic style was illustrated wonderfully when they made a delightful excursion through “Cane,” a piece written for the group by Jason Moran.
Imani Winds will make their next stop in Europe.
Tony Cook performs “Dixie”
Also performing were George Kilpatrick (readings/speeches), Tony Cook (the soulful baritone), Elinor Freer (piano) and the Jasper Quartet.
The concerts were part of the Skaneateles Festival. Last night’s production, directed by David Ying, was called Not Your Mother’s Chamber Music Concert.
Photos were taken at the First Presbyterian Church.
