RebeccaL. Hargrove will join Voices of Harlem for the Glory to Glory concert curated by Solange Knowles. The night will also feature spiritual choral compositions by the late Mary Lou Williams, with New York Philharmonic’s choral director Malcolm J. Merriweather leading a 14-person choir through these acclaimed works, and concert pianist Artina McCain performing a selection of Williams’ spiritual piano pieces. Connecting Mary Lou Williams’ legacy to modern instrumental ministry, this show also features gospel’s premiere saxophonist and psalmist Angella Christie. The program will bear witness to her artistic gift through the saxophone, an instrument with origins rooted in the church.
