The Chorale closes its 24th season with a story of survival - the journey in song of African people in bondage from slavery to emancipation. For slaves, songs served to ease the burdens of captivity and to speak of freedom in this world and the next. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., “They thought about a better day as they dreamed their dream.” Join the Chorale as it shares this important part of our American musical heritage.
