Tenor considered the first African American male concert artist to receive wide international acclaim as well as at home. Three items: a one-page ALS, 7.25 x 10.5, on his personal letterhead. Hayes responds to an admirer’s request. In part: “I feel deeply honored that you have felt as you do about my work as a liedersinger. The work goes continuously. I am devoting the major part of my singing in colleges where the young can be exposed to such beauty in art that I have found.” Letter is accompanied by the original mailing envelope; a two-page program for a 1954 performance at Jordan Hall in Boston, signed on the front in blue ballpoint and an 8.5 x 11 flyer for a dinner in honor of Hayes sponsored by the New York Musicians Club, signed in ballpoint, “Roland Hayes 3.19.64.” In very good overall condition.
