This workshop delves into the rich tapestry of history, context and performance practice of the African American Spiritual. From the roots of slavery through to the 21st century, Anthony will help uncover the deeper meanings woven into each song and unlock the secrets hidden within their various styles, from their origins before the Civil War to their transformation over subsequent years.
