“The immense talents and philanthropy of Florence Mills (1892 – 1926) earned her the nickname, The Queen of Happiness. Though her singing was praised by thousands of fans in the U.S. and in Europe, no recording of it exists, leaving us to imagine the sound of a voice that delighted so many. The Queen of Happiness: Florence Mills” is an immersive, multimedia musical experience that will introduce young audiences to Florence Mills, the Harlem Renaissance, and the music connected to Mills’ life and the times in which she both lived and inspired.
