Fisk Jubilee Singers concert adds special guests
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on March 28, 2016 Nashville’s original musical institution — The Fisk Jubilee Singers — will celebrate Fisk University's 150th anniversary with a concert at the Ryman Auditorium on April 9. Naturally, some very special guests want to celebrate with them. R&B legend Sam Moore, gospel mainstay CeCe Winans, acclaimed singer-songwriter Ruby Amanfu and Southern rocker Jimmy Hall will all perform with the group that evening. The choral ensemble was formed in 1871 and is credited with planting the seed of Nashville’s reputation as “Music City.” In its first four years as a group, it toured the U.S. and Europe and performed for Queen Victoria, Mark Twain and President Ulysses S. Grant. In the 21st-century it's been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the Music City Walk of Fame. Tickets for the April 9 concert are $39.50-$50 and on sale now at Ticketmaster and the Ryman box office.
