Michal Dawson Connor performs at The Hoogland Center for the Arts February 28th.
In celebration of Black History Month, Bass-Baritone Michal Dawson Connor will be performing his own arrangements of Spirituals, at the Hoogland Center for the Arts. These Sorrow Songs, or Slave Songs, are a living testament to the grit and determination of the African people – laboring under the yoke of bondage in America. In these musical footprints that they passed-down to us, the Slaves sang into existence a new heaven and earth... with their ecstatic, rapturous and mournful prayers for freedom.
Michal Dawson Connor is an accomplished performer and composer of choral, chamber, and solo vocal works, with a particular emphasis on Slave songs created before the Civil War.
