CSO Spiritual Ensemble: Robert Nathaniel Dett: A North American Treasure
Event Details
The CSO Spiritual Ensemble, a 35-member vocal group focusing on traditional African-American spirituals, joins Piccolo Spoleto on Saturday, June 6, 2015 with a performance entitled Robert Nathanial Dett: A North American Treasure.
This choral performance will chronicle the musical legacies of Robert Nathaniel Dett, (1882-1943) known for his intricate choral arrangements. Dett’s Ordering of Moses Oratorio for Orchestra and Chariot Jubilee for Organ are noted around the world as extremely challenging to perform, such that few professional or community choirs perform them.
A giant in the black classical world, Dett gained attention during his tenure at historic Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. His orchestral and organ works are rarely performed in the United States, but are celebrated staples in Canada and Europe.
The performance is at 5:00pm.
General Admission tickets: $21 adults; children or students $11 with ID
Online: www.piccolospoleto.com; by phone (866) 811-4111; at door (cash or check only) up to one half hour before each performance
