Welcome to Inspired by Ray, a symposium produced by theAmerican Roots Music Program at Berklee College of Music. Allthe great streams of American music flow through Ray Charles:blues, gospel, jazz, and country. It is this multistyle aspect ofCharles’s work that has inspired the Roots Program to mountthis symposium.

Throughout the weekend esteemed panelists and presenters willdiscuss a wide range of topics that any serious consideration of Ray Charlesrequires. The symposium will address the relationship between Charles and topicsas diverse as the music business, the black experience in America, jazz, gospel andcountry music, and the blind community. The symposium will conclude on Sunday,September 23, which would have been Ray Charles’s 82nd birthday.

At InspiRaytion, the capstone concert of the symposium, you will hear new andinnovative treatments of some familiar Ray Charles classics, as well as performancesof some great but relatively obscure works from his catalog.

The music of Ray Charles is truly an extraordinary thing. Its joy and spirit areaccessible to everyone, yet it also holds up under the lifelong scrutiny of trainedmusicians who continue to find in it new riches. It’s hard to find two people whoagree on any issue, but when it comes to American music, everybody loves Ray Charles.

Yours truly,

Matt Glaser, Artistic Director, American Roots Music ProgramJoe Walsh, Managing Director, American Roots Music Program

On behalf of the Ray Charles Marketing Group and our client,the Ray Charles Foundation, I would like to thank all of you forattending Inspired by Ray.

There were very few things that remained consistent throughoutRay Charles’s musical career. From the blind sensation who tookrhythm and blues by storm in the early 1950s, to the bandleaderand singer who wowed the Newport Jazz Festival in the late

1950s, to his journeys into the great American songbook and country and westernin the 1960s, Charles’s career was truly a work in progress.

However, one of the constants throughout his incredible recording career was hisconnection to Berklee College of Music and its prestigious alumni. These alumnirange from his teenage friend, Quincy Jones ‘51, the arranger of his first Grammyaward–winning recording in 1959, to his music director of 15 years, VictorVanacore ’74, the arranger of his last Grammy award–winning recording in 2004.In addition, several other Berklee graduates performed and toured with the RayCharles Orchestra.

The long-standing history of Ray Charles and this fine institution makes thisweekend even more special for all of us and I can assure you that the staff here atBerklee has put together an incredible program and concert for your enjoyment.

Sincerely,

Tony GuminaPresident, Ray Charles Marketing Group
