威斯敏斯特 的2023 年 10 月熱門活動

The Paul Robeson 125th Anniversary Concert: A Musical Tribute commemorates the 125th birthday of Paul Robeson, a legendary figure in American history. This remarkable event goes beyond just a concert; it serves as a testament to Robeson's lasting legacy, a gathering of the community, and a beacon of historical preservation. Headlining the concert is the renowned bass soloist, Kevin Maynor, whose rich and expressive voice has captivated audiences around the world. His performance will feature a selection of Paul Robeson songs, paying homage to the iconic artist.

Also gracing the stage is the Westminster Jubilee Singers, a group of talented students selected through audition. This ensemble, inspired by the historically acclaimed Fisk Jubilee Singers, showcases a diverse repertoire that includes African-American spirituals, folk songs, classical music by African-American composers, gospel music, and secular songs by musical greats. Their performances are a true artistic expression of solo and ensemble works.

We are honored to have Susan Robeson, the granddaughter of Paul Robeson, join us for the concert. As a beacon of her grandfather's legacy, she will deliver the opening remarks, sharing her personal connection to his remarkable journey. VIP ticket holders will have the exclusive privilege of joining Susan Robeson at the VIP reception, an opportunity not to be missed.

Adding to the evening's significance, Patricia Smith, Princeton's esteemed poet laureate, will be in attendance. The Witherspoon Church Verse Speaking Choir, a distinguished group, will perform a newly commissioned Paul Robeson poem by Patricia Smith, showcasing the intersection of poetry and music.

The Paul Robeson 125th Anniversary Concert serves a greater purpose beyond the music. It is a fundraising event, aimed at supporting the renovation of Paul Robeson's birthplace in Princeton. The proceeds from this concert will play a vital role in transforming the historic site into a vibrant community space and residential lodging for the underserved. This project is part of an ongoing commitment to preserve and nurture Paul Robeson's legacy through educational and cultural programs.

Attending this concert is not just an opportunity to experience soul-stirring music; it is a meaningful step towards keeping Paul Robeson's spirit alive for generations to come. Join us on October 15, 2023, at the Nassau Presbyterian Church, located at 61 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542, for an unforgettable evening of exquisite melodies and timeless tribute. Tickets range from $125 to $500.
