Heralded as one of the “most beautiful voices in the world” (Washington Post), opera star Kathleen Battle performs music from the Underground Railroad. Accompanied by pianist Cyrus Chestnut and joined by special guests the American Spiritual Ensemble under the direction of Dr. Everett McCorvey, this inspiring program brings to light a song cycle of freedom, suffering, and salvation with unique renditions of “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands,” “Lord, How Come Me Here?,” “I Don’t Feel No Ways Tired,” “Balm and Gilead,” and “Go Down Moses.”www.ekucenter.com
