Mary Pat Henry is bringing out a new piece, "Southern Exposure" in the Spring 2010 concert. It is about growing up in the south and integration in the time of Jim Crow. In some ways it resembles her earlier piece on the advent of WWII, Soiree in which the sophisticated party atmosphere of and urbane Europe runs a conterpoint to the developing cloud of Nazi evil. In this new piece the counterpoint is between "social graces and racial prejudice."
