NEC Festival: Music and the Black Church, Pt. 2 with Special Guest Nedelka Prescod

A continuation from the earlier workshop, part two of Roots + Culture + Spirit: Music and the Black Church offers a more in-depth exploration of the African American Spiritual. Students will learn of the history, evolution, elements and practices, roles and relevance, and legacy of Spirituals within Black American religious and performance communities across time. Students will read through Spirituals and engage in their rehearsal and performance practices.

This event is part of the 2024 NEC Festival — a weeklong series taking place from November 10–17 featuring performances, workshops, and more. Explore all of the festival's events here.
