The Spirituals Project Choir is back for their second appearance at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center. Consisting of singers of all ages and backgrounds with varying degrees of musical experience, the Choir celebrates the varied traditions of spirituals (sacred songs created and first sung by enslaved Africans in America in the 18th and 19th centuries). In addition, the choir performs new arrangements - many written expressly for The Spirituals Project Choir - that provides an opportunity for people to connect personally with the spirituals through performance.
