In 1871, a remarkable group of singers from Nashville, Tennessee, embarked on a groundbreaking journey that would forever change the landscape of music and history. Known as the Fisk University Singers, these students, born into slavery, carried with them a music that had never before been heard in public. Through soloists, a narrator, gospel choruses, and a jazz combo, audiences will be transported back in time to witness the indomitable spirit of these freed slaves as they paved the way for future generations.
