The program continues with timeless spirituals such as “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”, “Amazing Grace”, and “Let Us Break Bread Together”, culminating in George Gershwin’s “Summertime” a modern classic that bridges classical tradition and popular song. Blending sacred arias, art songs, and spirituals, this collection offers a unique and intimate listening experience, celebrating the universal language of music across eras and styles.
