About this concert
A story of the enslaved, told with the spirituals that guided them to freedom. Inspired by real events in America’s history.
Adapted from Akil Dupont's 2010 short film that played in 60 countries and won 21 awards including 2 Student Emmys - Underground is a story of family, both created and chosen, told through song and stirring melodies of freedom. This story of the American past is a riveting commemoration of the Negro spiritual and its ability to guide weary feet and sooth wounded souls.
