ACROSS THE WATERS: soNGS OF MEMORY AND MIGRATION
Àkójọpọ̀ and Hearing in Color welcome you to Across the Waters: Songs of Memory and Migration, a vocal chamber concert that explores the historical and cultural significance of Black American art songs and spirituals, and their connections to Pan-African art music.
