WRR101 is the place for classical music and the arts in North Texas, powered by its listeners.

Until recently, the music of Morgiane only existed

Until recently, the music of Morgiane only existed in a single handwritten manuscript.

Composer Edmond Dédé, a Black American living in exile in France, completed the nearly 550-page score in 1887. He thought of it as his greatest achievement. But the four-act, French grand opera based on themes from the folktale "Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves" would never be performed in his lifetime. Instead the manuscript was tucked away and nearly forgotten.

Now, 138 years after it was composed, Morgiane is being produced in a concert setting.

Margie Johnson Reese has been named interim executive director of the African American Museum of Dallas (@aamuseumdallas) following the retirement of its longtime director in December. Reese will fill the position during the search for a permanent director.

She will follow in the footsteps of Harry Robinson Jr., who founded the museum 50 years ago. She said she felt called to steward the museum during the transition.

“I lived in the Dallas community for 35 years. I have a very strong connection to this institution,” Reese said. “It's a responsibility that I could not turn down.”
