Concert attendees will experience the heart of the African-American musical experience, including spirituals, gospel, jazz, and popular. The Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra, Choir, Chorus, Treble Chorale, and Jazz Vocal Ensemble; the Dorothy Cotton Jubilee Singers; and SMTD alumni and faculty—including first year assistant voice professor Jean Bernard Cerin—will all perform. There will also be a reading of King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.”
