Among those that resonated with ensemble members was the “I Wish That I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free” by Billy Taylor, which served as an anthem during the Civil Rights movement.

Other works on the program include “Lamentations of Jeremiah” by Thomas Tallis, “Light of the Clear Blue Morning” by Dolly Parton and Shawn Kirchner’s arrangement of William Bradbury’s hymn “Angel Band.”
