BMC BLACK VOICES PROGRAMME BOOK - Book - Page 6
Peace on Earth led by Vox Urbane, a project
dedicated to addressing the lack of diversity in
choral music. Beatrice also brings an exciting
fusion of classical and jazz, while the
outstanding London Adventist Chorale oûers a
glorious programme of choral music.
You can join DJ Lauren to celebrate the close of
Black History Month, then find reflection the
next day with a community hymn-sing led by
Vox Urbane’s Next Generation. Our study
morning will explore the history and future of
Black music, from the worldwide success of
Coleridge-Taylor’s Hiawatha trilogy to
contemporary gospel, hip hop, and the issues
and priorities for developing black
contemporary voices.
We hope this festival inspires, challenges, and
uplifts you. We are grateful to all the artists,
partners, and supporters who made it possible.
One sky. One world. One people.
