Fisk Jubilee Singers Celebrated on Stage
by Philip L. Copeland (May 17, 2008 5:00 AM)

From NPR:


It's been more than a century since the Fisk University Jubilee singers started performing Negro spirituals and slave songs.

Today, the Fisk singers are still spreading the songs of enslaved Africans nationwide.

And they're celebrated in a new show called Sing Jubilee! The Story of the Fisk Jubilee Singers.

NPR's Tony Cox speaks with Rick Sperling--founder and CEO of the Mosaic Youth Theater in Detroit--and Sing Jubilee! playwright Oyamo.



NPR's story is here.

Pentecost (Lucas Cranach) at St. Peter and Paul church in Weimar, Germany

UK: the17 will be transient choral work

Petty criminals and prostitutes will be among the first members of the public allowed into Derby's new showpiece arts complex Quad.

They will be part of a 1,700 group of city people recruited for a unique performance art project, which will have its premiere at Quad, then be destroyed.

The 1,700 will be split into 100 themed groups, each representing a cross-section of the community.

Each 17-strong group will go into a studio to record a single note - these will be put together to form a piece of choral music which will be played once in Market Place on August 22 - then deleted.

a ringer - ethics? ChoralTalk

If I were a student, and I knew I could come in at the last minute as a ringer, why would I want to sign up and go through months of rehearsals? I'm not in favor of last minute ringers...
