Feel the Spirit is a series dedicated to the study, preservation, and performance of the Negro Spiritual.
The second concert of this two-part concert series features mezzo-soprano Lucia Bradford and tenor Edwin Cotton. Lucia Bradford, who has been praised by Opera News for her "rich, burnished tone and fearsome low notes," will sing traditional spiritual arrangements by Lena McLin and J. Rosamond Johnson, as well as an original setting entitled Lord, I’ll Go, by Jacqueline Hairston. Bradford will share the evening with tenor Edwin Cotton who rounds out the program with arrangements by the "father of the Concert Spiritual" Harry Burleigh, as well as spirituals by William Grant Still and Wendell Whalum.
