The University of Southampton ‘Voices’ Community Choir are holding their Winter concert on Friday 12 December at 7.30pm in the Turner Sims Concert Hall, on the Highfield University campus!

They will be performing ‘Freedom Song’, which tells “the inspiring story of the Fisk Jubilee Singers”.

“The Fisk Jubilee Singers were freed slaves. Their mission was not only to build the first black University after emancipation, but to fight for the right of all African Americans to be educated. Working from diaries, historical records and the choir’s own songbook, composer Harvey Brough and playwright Justin Butcher have reconstructed their struggles. The USV choir are joined by a professional band and soloists.”
