Program for 3,000 Mile Spring Tour
The famed A&T State Uni
versity Concert Choir, long a fa
vorite on the Eastern Seabord
and in the Midwest, made a
promise last year which the
singers intend to keep.
Dr. Howard T. Pearsall, who
has conducted the choir since
the early 1950s, promised pa
trons at last year's programs a
unique new repertoire featur
ing selections by noted black
composers.
After months of scanning lit
erature and rehearsals, Pearsall
feels he and the choir have been
able to produce an outstanding
concert program.
The choir will begin their 3,000

April 9 and conclude with a con
cert in Madison. Wisconsin, on
May 4.
Other programs are scheduled
for Boston, East Orange, N. J.,
Hartford, Conn., Trenton, N. J., 1

and Cleveland.
The featured composition of .
this year's tour will be a canta- |
ta, entitled "Grandma Moses" j
(Harriet Tubman) by Decotnier.
Another group of songs will j
bo spiritual settings by Work,
Hall, Johnson, Ryder and Bur
leigh. A holdover from last year's
program will be an excerpt
ffom the Congolose mass, "The
Missa Luba."
The choir will also perform
several motets and anthems by
Nathaniel Dett, John Work and
George Walker.
This year's choir features a
number of talented soloists.
Annette Kitchen, of Greens
boro, N. C., recently won a com
