The Sound

The Sound is comprised of a group of singers who for 25 years have been dedicated to the preservation of music from the African American heritage. According to Juan Huey-Ray, director and founder, the Negro Spiritual “captures the faith, hope, love, and charity embodied in our foreparents during one of the worst periods in the history of human interaction.” The Sound, having returned recently from Carnegie Hall, provide programs that are inspirational and entertaining and promise to evoke an emotional experience.

Evan Drachman

Mr. Drachman is increasingly sought after both for his solo and chamber music performances because of his presentation of live classical music for diverse audiences.
