Clayton G Williams: New York City Artist In Motion

Industry: Entertainment & Games

The Versatile Baritone Clayton G. Williams showcases his many talents both on and off the main stage

New York City (PRUnderground) July 29th, 2015

Rising Artist Clayton G Williams closed out the 2015 opera season as a cover for Ephraham in the collaborative reproduction of Harlem Renaissance figure H. Lawrence Freeman’s Voodoo. The story –put forth by Harlem Opera Theater and Morning Side Opera- captures the twisted faith of a jilted lover who turns her back on her Christian faith to utilize the magical powers of voodoo to [unsuccessfully] win back the man she loves. The New York Times featured two stories on the ‘Long Unheard Opera;’ crediting Freeman’s bravado in premiering the show in 1928 at NY’s Palm Garden; featuring an all-black cast. The highly spiritualized opera was first broadcast live in 1928 on New York radio and was the first opera by an African-American composer to be presented on Broadway.

With beautifully sung performances and a beguiling stage presence, Clayton exudes the talent, focus and refinement of a seasoned entertainer.
