Vox Grata Presents: Voices from the Light

In 1997, the Girls Choir of Harlem premiered “Voices from the Light,” composed by African American composer Dorothy Rudd Moore. Masterfully linking quotes from leading African American poets and Negro Spirituals amidst the tapestry of Moore’s own text and music, this piece aims to provide the Black Community comfort and support from the Ancestors. Following the piece’s premiere at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center on November 23 of that year, the piece was not heard again until 2022. Vox Grata is honored to partner with the W. Crimm Singers to ensure this masterwork is heard and embraced by the next generation of choral music lovers.

Proceeds from a free will offering taken during the concert will benefit YEAH! - a Nashville-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth ages 6-17 through music.
