More Than Rhythm: A Black Music Series With Dr. Tony McNeill

Saturday, March 5
6:00 – 7:30 p.m.
Galleries and bar open at 5:00 p.m.

Join us to launch the More Than Rhythm series with The Heritage Celebration Chorale, an aggregation of choral music educators, enthusiasts, and vocal artists from the Carolinas and Georgia, and experience a sampling of diverse sacred choral textures that exist in the Black sacred music tradition. Led by Dr. Tony McNeill, they offer a program of sacred choral works by Black composers that span several genres and include classical styles, spirituals, hymn arrangements, anthems, gospel, and music from the congregational song traditions of the Carolinas such as metered hymns, traditional and arranged prayer, and praise songs of the Black church. The audience becomes the choir during various sing-along opportunities throughout the concert. Hosted by ethnomusicologist Dr. Birgitta Johnson.

Presented by the Baker & Baker Foundation.
Programmatic support provided by the Friends of African American Art & Culture.

This program has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.

$20 / $10 for members / free for students. Face coverings recommended. 

Tickets available at the door.
