The Spirit of Spirituals: Famous and Stirring Songs of Faith, and their Stories In-Person
Educator, musician, storyteller, and dancer Súle Greg Wilson will explore African and Post- African music, the stories behind the songs, their cultural significance, and why they continue to endure. People the world over express Divine Devotion through humbly coming together and creating blessed sounds, blending their energies and hearts to help bridge that sometimes narrow, sometimes great, divide between us, as temporal beings, and the Infinite. One example of this bridge is African American sacred music: Negro Spirituals, and the Gospel tradition. Many have heard them, but few know their historical, or cultural context, much less their African precedents. What better way to learn about it than to hear, and sing it? Registration is required.
