Do you love to sing? Do you love Spirituals? Then join us at the MELODIOUS ACCORD 2005 Festival of Spirituals in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and SING with Alice Parker and Pamela Warrick-Smith.

Spirituals, created by the genius of African-American singers, have become one of the best-loved musics in the world, recognized and sung on every continent. Alice Parker, legendary composer, arranger, conductor and teacher of choral music, has championed the singing of spirituals by Americans of all ethnic backgrounds for nearly five decades and regards spirituals as "among the world's great and noble melodies." Acclaimed contralto Pamela Warrick-Smith is well-known to Melodious Accord audiences and has been featured on three recordings of Spirituals with The Musicians of Melodious Accord: Take Me to the Water, King and the Duke, and the recently released Listen, Lord.

If you like to sing, come and sing. If you like to listen to great music and words, come and listen. If you wish to worship, come and worship. If you wish to join with others to affirm our common humanity, come. Bring your family, friends and neighbors old and young to this most participatory event.

Admission $10; $5 for students and seniors; children under 12 free.
