NEWBURYPORT — The Spirituals, a singing group from the Boston Arts Academy, the state capital’s only public school for the visual and performing arts, will be performing Sunday, Jan. 21, at 3 p.m. at the First Religious Society Meetinghouse, 26 Pleasant St., Newburyport.
This group of talented young artists has previously won the gold medal at the Massachusetts Instrumental and Choral Conductors Association Festival. They have performed at numerous statewide events, including the inauguration of Governor Maura Healy and the homegoing celebration of Civil Rights activist Melvin King. Their music explores the traditions and developments in African American sacred music.
All the proceeds from ticket sales will support The Spirituals traveling to and performing in Williamsburg, Va., at the Williamsburg Heritage Festival. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at: baa.ticketleap.com/the-spirituals-baa/
