Sweet Honey in the Rock, March 31, 8pm

A reaffirming example of the gravity of the human voice and its ability to stir the soul, Sweet Honey in the Rock is normally comprised of a sextet of exceptional African American female vocalists. With no instrumental accompaniment other than the sounds of hand and body percussion, they craft deeply moving tales of history, empowerment and hope. Now in their forth decade of wowing crowds with their original pasticcio of jazz, blues and gospel, these goddesses have the power to move mountains.
