We would like to welcome Jamie Cartright and Lauren Eldridge who will present a paper entitled

“Sight and Sound: The Transcription of Haitian Folkloric Rhythms” 

Jamie Cartright, mezzo-soprano, has returned to Haiti after a season with Palm Beach Opera’s chorus where she was also a soloist with the Anglican Chorale-Trinity Cathedral in Miami and the Master Chorale of South Florida. Jamie was featured on the cover of Ticket magazine for her concert at the Institut Français honoring women in classical music. Her most recent projects include the Matinée de Compositeurs Haïtiens with a host of esteemed musicians throughout the diaspora, and a recital accompanied by Micheline Dalencour and Lauren Eldridge reviewed by Le Nouvelliste. Jamie served as a clinician for L’Ecole de Musique Saint-Trinite in Port-au-Prince and L’Ecole de Musique Dessaix-Baptiste in Jacmel, Haiti. Born in New York, Jamie Cartright grew up in Haiti and returned to the U.S. to receive her Bachelor of Music at Stetson University in Florida. While in Haiti, she presented two solo recitals and sang regularly with L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Sainte-Trinite, notably during the memorial concert in 2010 for the victims of Haiti’s earthquake.
 
Lauren Eldridge is an ethnomusicologist who focuses on musics of the African diaspora. She is currently conducting research regarding Haitian classical music and its accompanying pedagogies. She obtained her B.A. from Spelman College in 2010 (International Studies and Music) and is a doctoral student at the University of Chicago.
