Justin Austin and Brittany Robinson sing spirituals

The first concert of this two-part concert series features baritone Justin Austin and soprano Brittany Robinson. Justin Austin, who has been praised by ‘Opera News’ as “a gentle actor and elegant musician,” and ‘The Wall Street Journal’ for his “mellifluous baritone,” will sing spirituals by H.T. Burleigh and Courtney Carey, including the world premiere of Carey’s spiritual arrangements, “Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel?” and “In Bright Mansions Above”. Brittany Robinson, hailed by the ‘South Florida Classical’ for her “luminous tones” and “lush voice,” will sing spirituals by Hall Johnson, Hale Smith, Robert Morris, Tim Amukele, and Margaret Bonds.

This concert is presented as part of the Arts@Future series in the IDAGIO Global Concert Hall, curated by the Hampsong Foundation. Feel the Spirit is made possible with public funds from Creative Engagement and UMEZ and administered by LMCC. Further support is provided by Columbia Community Service.
