Black spirituals and German chorales are disparate genres of sacred music, separated by centuries and continents. Yet both genres share a communal orientation and a theological concern with justice and hope. A concert by the Duke Chapel Schola Cantorum this Thursday, March 2, at 7:00 p.m. will feature settings of spirituals and chorales—historical and contemporary, choral and congregational—interspersed with thematic commentary.

Titled "Lord, Hear My Cry: An Evening of Spiritual Songs," the program at the Chapel is part of the Society for Christian Scholarship in Music annual conference. Admission is free.
