Geneva Concerts Presents: The Fisk Jubilee Singers

One of the earliest and most famous Black vocal groups, the Fisk Jubilee Singers are musicians and students at Fisk University in Nashville, TN who perform and travel worldwide. Founded in 1871, the first Fisk Jubilee Singers introduced the world to the music of what were called “slave songs” now known as African-American spirituals. Credited with preserving this vibrant musical tradition, we welcome the 16 student singers and their director to Geneva. Celebrating Fisk! The 150th Anniversary Album earned a 2021 GRAMMY in the Best Roots Gospel Album category.
In 1999, the Fisk Jubilee Singers were featured in Jubilee Singers: Sacrifice and Glory as part of the PBS award-winning television documentary series American Experience, produced by WGBH/Boston.
