This concert celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Classical Roots program, which brings together the musicians of the CSO with 150 singers from local churches in a musical exploration of the rich history of African American music. With selections ranging from Florence Price's Concerto in D Minor in One Movement for Piano and Orchestra to the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing," and the traditional "Kumbaya," listeners will revel in the diversity and energy coming from Music Hall's stage.

Classical Roots, with your host Brian O'Donnell, airs Sunday, November 21 at 8 p.m. on 90.9 WGUC, online at wguc.org, and streaming on the WGUC app and your smart speaker by saying "Play WGUC."
