Deep River: A New Resonance for American ClassicsMarch 15, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.
Think every musical crossover has already been explored? Think again. DEEP RIVER presents a vibrant selection of 21 African American spirituals, reimagined through the hauntingly beautiful textures of the Baroque era.
Featuring countertenor Michael Walker II and the early music consort Alchymy Viols, this performance breathes new life into America’s first folk songs. While a viol consort and a spiritual might seem like a "curious collaboration," director Philip Spray notes that viols were historically designed to arrange the popular tunes of their day. Augmented by the rich tones of a grand harp and a period field pump organ, the result is an utterly unique, distinctly American soundscape.
Admission: Free (An offering will be collected to benefit the West End School. www.westendschool.org))
