Come celebrate with Grammy Award Winning Fisk Jubilee Singers at this special NAACP Sponsored performance @ Macky Auditorium. Join NAACP Boulder County and "Walk With Me" sponsors as we celebrate and close six weeks of stand out events, exhibits, and keynote speakers at a special performance by the Grammy Award Winnning Fiske Jubilee Singers. The Fisk Jubilee Singers are not an ordinary a cappella ensemble! This multi-award winning ensemble is credited with introducing and sustaining the tradition of the Negro spiritual to the world. The group began performing in 1871, touring America and Europe singing songs that were sacred to them --- and raising money to save their school, Fisk University, from financial ruin. One hundred and fifty years later, the Fisk Jubilee Singers continue to wow audiences with their extraordinary performances. The ensemble is composed of Fisk University students who are selected through an audition process.
