The Dorothy Cotton Jubilee Singers (DCJS) will be coming to Ithaca College's Ford Hall, for their Fall Concert. The concert will feature some of our standard repertoire, as well as gospel, spiritual favorites, and new inspirational pieces.
The DCJS, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, Ithaca-based organization of dozens of singers from throughout Tompkins County, including more than two dozen Ithaca College music majors, is dedicated to preserving the Negro Spiritual and the legacy of Dorothy Cotton.
The group, led by Founding Director Dr. Baruch Whitehead, Professor of Music Education at Ithaca College, is named in honor of the late Ithaca resident, Dr. Dorothy Cotton, the civil rights pioneer who served as Education Director for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Join us for an afternoon of uplifting music at Ford Hall for this free concert. Donations are gratefully accepted.
Our programs are made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and and by the Community Foundation, the Legacy Foundation and Tompkins County
