Currently, Maestro Daniel is Music Director of Ensemble du Monde, chamber orchestra, and Principal Guest Conductor of the Sofia Sinfonietta. His new CD “Phoenix Forever” on the MSR Classics label received rave reviews and was a contender for a 2011 GRAMMY. Maestro Parnther noted that Camilla Williams was the first African American signed to a major opera company (New York City Opera in 1946) and that was nine years before Marian Anderson became the first African-American singer to appear at the Metropolitan Opera.

He also mentioned she replaced Marian Anderson, who was stuck in traffic, to sing the National Anthem before Dr. Kings “I Have a Dream Speech” in 1963. Parnther did not mention Camilla Williams also sang at King's Nobel Peace Prize ceremony the next year. Soprano Yolanda West superbly represented Camilla Williams singing Un Bel Di from Madame Butterfly and Summertime. Thus did great American Diva Indra Thomas describe how it feels to perform spirituals – which (along with ragtime, blues and jazz) remain one of the main musical legacies of African-American slavery.

While it seems ironic that the blessing of spirituals grew out of the curse of slavery, the genre – with its primary themes of Christian belief, biblical storytelling, manic jubilation, and sweet relief from earthly suffering in the next life – has remained one of America’s most cherished musical artifacts worldwide. This album offers examples of many different types of spirituals, to include some that are believed to have conveyed 'codes' among the cruelly oppressed slaves to aid them in escaping to freedom.
