The final event of the Margaret Bonds Symposium features her choral works, including the southeastern premiere of her masterpiece, Credo, a passionate and moving cry for racial equality. Setting the poetry of W.E.B. DuBois, this work is finally making its way into mainstream choral repertoire. In addition, the concert includes a new work by Queens University of Charlotte professor, Dr. Zach Zubow, commissioned for the occasion.

Pre-concert lecture: 2:30 p.m. by John Michael Cooper, Southwestern University
