Morgan State University Choir will join the Paul Laurence Dunbar Chorale
as they raise a mighty voice during a special benefit concert at 7:30 p.m.
on Feb. 21, at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Dayton. "Lift Every
Voice and Sing" will present an evening of African American music
featuring the Morgan State University Choir conducted by Nathan Carter,
Ph.D., chair of the Department of Fine Arts at Morgan State University
and a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music.
The Morgan State University Choir, located in Baltimore, Md., has performed at the White House, Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. The choir has toured throughout the United States, Europe, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canary Islands, Bahamas and Canada. In addition, the choir has performed with major American and European orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic and the New York Philharmonic. Other notable performances include a National Public Radio live recording with actor Robert Guillame. "We are honored to have this enriching opportunity for both the Wright State University and Dayton communities to hear such a superb choir," said Brenda Ellis, Ed.D., assistant professor in the Department of Music. "This choir epitomizes the best of African American choral music." A free-will donation will be taken, and proceeds from the event will benefit the Paul Laurence Dunbar Chorale Concert Tour and Scholarship Fund. The concert is free and open to the public.
