We all bring varied gifts and perspectives to the world, and when we lend them to musical collaboration, something special is born. As part of Musical Arts Indiana's Diverse Journeys concert series, Vesper Chorale and the Children's Choir of Michiana welcome the Voices of Mt. Carmel and the Angels of Christ Youth Choir from Mt. Carmel Missionary Baptist Church of South Bend in an event celebrating the traditions of African-American music.”

“As we gather in unity through the arts, the concert will feature Ringwald's setting of God's Trombones, as well as works by H. T. Burleigh and Richard Smallwood.” [Henry “Harry” Thacker Burleigh was born Dec. 2, 1866 and is profiled at AfriClassical.com, which features a complete Works List by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma of Lawrence University Conservatory]
