The Wisdom of the African American Spirituals Tradition:
From Slave Fields to Concert Halls
On Saturday, October 14th, 10am-Noon, please join us for a community workshop at the Donald J. Farish Auditorium, Providence Public Library (PPL), with Dr. Arthur Jones, internationally recognized author, interdisciplinary scholar, singer, and founder of The Spirituals Project at the University of Denver. In this participatory workshop, he will teach us about the cultural, spiritual, and musical legacy of African American spirituals, the songs created and first sung by enslaved African peoples in America. Exploring the African roots of the spirituals, Jones will reveal the way the songs conceal a language of freedom and resistance, and the way that their spiritual consolation reinforces community solidarity. Copies of the anniversary edition of Dr. Jones' book, Wade in the Water: The Wisdom of the Spirituals, will be available for sale and signing by Dr. Jones after the workshop, thanks to our friends at Barrington Books.

The Saturday workshop at PPL is followed on Sunday at 5pm with a concert by the Rhode Island College (RIC) Choral Program, “Lift Every Voice and Sing”, at All Saints'. This concert is a collaboration of Dr. Jones and Dr. Teresa Coffman, Director of Choral Activities at RIC. Together they have crafted a program reflecting the richness of musical styles and messages created by composers who have designed choral arrangements of spirituals and gospel songs inspired by spirituals.
Both weekend events are free and open to all, and are supported in part by grants from the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island, the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, and the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities.
