Ain’t I A Woman!

With text is by Kim Hines, the musical score is drawn from the heartfelt spirituals and blues of the Deep South, the urban vitality of the Jazz Age, and contemporary concert music by African Americans, including composer Diane Monroe. Ain’t I a Woman! is a joyful exploration of the trials and triumphs of four passionate and accomplished women.
