    Traditional African American musical forms and traditions continue to stir the creativity of composers and arrangers. In this intriguing program for voices and piano, the musical group Follow the Drinking Gourd will sample the abundance that’s grown from these amazing roots with recent spins on spirituals, the blues, ragtime and jazz. This original program is performed with commentary to enhance audience enjoyment.
