The North Shore Choral Society hosted a standing-room-only crowd for its 2019 Benefit at Evanston's Levy Center on Sunday, April 7. An ensemble cast performed "The Liberty Lines: Songs and Stories of the Underground Railroad," an original production that included folk music, spirituals, and first-person narratives.
The ensemble cast included Casey Calhoun, Gloria Robinson,
Tonya Peebles, Runako Soyini, Christopher Skyles, and
Andrew Calhoun.
Thomas W. Jefferson, with whom NSCS collaborated for its March concert, provided musical
interludes featuring his own arrangements of traditional spirituals.
A rapt audience filled the Levy Center, and at intermission guests enjoyed a Southern-inspired buffet provided by NSCS members. |
