Dr Oral Moses and Jakari Rush will present an afternoon featuring Negro Spirituals and Art Songs, including a world premier by Mr Rush.

Atlanta bass-baritone Oral Moses performs regularly throughout the United States and Europe singing Oratorio and recitals with special emphasis on a wide variety of Negro Spirituals and Art Song repertoire by African-American composers.

As a solo recording artist for Albany Records, Moses' premiere CD, Deep River: Songs and Spirituals of Harry T. Burleigh, is featured in the PBS film documentary, Antonin Dvorak in America. His second CD, Amen! African-American composers of the Twentieth Century, continues to be a best seller on the Albany Record label. In 2001 Albany Records released a collection of spirituals sung a cappella, Spirituals in Zion, which he recorded in the historic Zion Baptist Church built by enslaved African Americans in 1861. His recent CD, Come Down Angels and Trouble The Water, celebrates the negro spiritual as a national treasure. In 2020, Albany released the compilation, Sankofa: A Spiritual Reflection.

Extreme Spirituals, is a CD collaboration with Moses and the Boston-based progressive chamber rock ensemble Birdsongs of the Mesozoic for the Cuneiform label.

In addition, Dr Moses formed the Georgia Spiritual Ensemble, an a capella sextet devoted to preserving the legacy of the African American spiritual and has recorded a CD for the Albany label. A graduate of Fisk University and a Jubilee Singer, Moses was recently invited to be a featured performer at their 150th anniversary celebration.
