“Lift Every Voice and Sing” A Concert by the Rhode Island College (RIC) Choral Program at All Saints’ Memorial Church

Following the Saturday workshop at PPL, “The Wisdom of the African American Spirituals Tradition: From Slave Fields to Concert Halls,” will be a concert on October 15th at 5:00pm by the Rhode Island College (RIC) Choral Program, “Lift Every Voice and Sing”, at All Saints’.

This concert is a collaboration of Dr. Jones and Dr. Teresa Coffman, Director of Choral Activities at RIC. Together they have crafted a program reflecting the richness of musical styles and messages created by composers who have designed choral arrangements of spirituals and gospel songs inspired by spirituals.

The workshop and concert are free and open to all, and are supported in part by grants from the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island, the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, and the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities.
