C. Leonard Raybon, Composer and Lyricist
C. Leonard Raybon, award-winning musical director, conductor, published composer and lyricist, is Associate Professor of Music and Director of Choirs at Tulane University. He is the founder of Sacred Nine Project, which reconsiders music, verse, theatre, and events from an earlier America in order to help shape a future one. As Sacred Nine says, “we have ‘scores’ to settle.” Raybon has reimagined historical hymns, popular songs, and written works of history, with original compositions and performances in his home city of New Orleans, and throughout the South and Northeast.
