WITNESS: Symphony of Spirituals
February 22, 2026 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Lift your voice and sing for justice as VocalEssence presents songs of resilience and resistance that inspire all to continue the march towards freedom and racial reconciliation. Hear the rhythmic cry for freedom found in The Justice Symphony by Damien Geter, echoing anthems from the Civil Rights Movement and accompanied by a live symphony orchestra. Experience the poignant and beautiful sounds of the Negro spiritual in the world-premiere performance of two newly commissioned works by the multi-talented composer B.E. Boykin. Embrace the unifying spirit of community!
WITNESS: Symphony of Spirituals will feature the VocalEssence Chorus and Ensemble Singers, elder singers from the VocalEssence Vintage Voices, diverse teenage choir VocalEssence Singers Of This Age, and a symphony orchestra with G. Phillip Shoultz III conducting.
