Recommended for Grades 3-12.

To “keep your eyes on the prize” means to determine what is important and to muster up the courage to take action towards making the vision a reality. VocalEssence WITNESS: Eyes Still On the Prize II introduces us to three Minnesota women—Dr. Reatha Clark King, Dr. Josie Robinson Johnson, and Rose McGee—who continue to make a positive impact on our society as they speak out about and stand up for change. As you learn more about them and their life’s work, we hope each of you is inspired to consider: What is the prize that your eyes are on? What issues or causes are you willing to work and stand up for to make our society a better place?

This year’s program will again feature the talented young people of Singers Of This Age, alongside magnetic WITNESS Teaching Artists, guest artists, and members of the VocalEssence Chorus.
