More details

In 1937, NBC began a live radio broadcast of Black American composer Robert Nathaniel Dett’s The Ordering of Moses. However… mid-performance NBC cut the broadcast feed giving in to complaints from outraged listeners. On Feburary 9, Experience Dett’s full-length oratorio – performed without interruption – and find out why we think this might be the greatest American choral work of all time.
