*SING-A-LONG*
*Carnegie Community Sing: an interactive event for all ages*
Experience this special opportunity to learn songs and exchange stories with
the Fisk Jubilee Singers. (No singing experience necessary!) The original
Jubilee Singers introduced “slave songs” to the world in 1871 and were
instrumental in preserving this American musical tradition known today as
Negro Spirituals. They broke racial barriers in the US and abroad in the
late 19th century, and entertained kings and queens in Europe. Today the
Fisk Jubilee Singers—young students of Fisk University—continue their legacy
by singing and traveling extensively, sharing this distinct American art
form and experience with audiences worldwide. This event is hosted by Vy
Higginsen, co-writer, producer, and director of "Mama, I Want to Sing!"
