Freedom to cry

For only one night, the UWI Arts Chorale, with the UWI STeel Ensemble co-producing, will present for the first time as a choir the theatrical concert ‘Cry Freedom.’ The concert will take place on Wednesday March 30, 2011 at the Daaga Auditorium on The UWI St. Augustine Campus, at 7pm.

Cry Freedom is a musical and the UWI Arts Chorale and the UWI STeel Ensemble will combine musical genres like calypso, gospel, folk and spirituals to celebrate freedom, a concept that spans racial and ethnic cultures.

The concert promises to be an exciting one, with well-known spirituals like Wade in the Water, the Argentinian Mass Misa Criolla, and excerpts from the Tony award-winning musical Elton John and Tim Rice’s AIDA. This concert is directed by Jessel Murray and choreographed by Adele Bynoe.

Tickets are available at the Department of Creative and Festival Arts on Agostini Street, St Augustine. For further information call 743-0841, 398-8576 or email uwi.arts.chorale@gmail.com.
