This series documents Norman’s performing career, beginning with a recital in 1965 through her final performances in the 2010s. Some of those from the 1960s and 1970s are the only surviving documents for her early performances, as there is very little about these events elsewhere in the collection. Highlights include programs from her performance at the United States capitol in honor of Rosa Parks receiving the Congressional Gold Medal (1999); Honor! Celebrating African American heritage, a month-long celebration at Carnegie Hall curated by Norman (2009); and her performance at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony (2002). Publicity includes mailings from music festivals, orchestras, and performance venues for which Norman was a featured artist, and advertisements for her recitals and recordings. This series also contains a program from the Royal Opera Covent Garden’s 1907 season which may have been a gift or souvenir.
