Read what the Minneapolis Tribune
has to say about the Fisk Jubilee Sing
ers who will appear at the Opera House
in this city on the evening of the 25th:
'In the little group of singers gather
ed about the organ on the stage of the
Grand Opera House last night were
some of the richest, clearest, freshest
voices that ever sang in concert in
Minneapolis Who can listen to their
rich purity as they swell with the
quaint grandeur of the log-cabin melo-
dies, without feeling thrill of genuine
pleasure? The weird originality of the
words and the peculiarly of the
rhythm add witchery to the music
that conquers the feeling and converts
the coldest audience into the widest
enthusiasm. This was amply illustrated
at the Grand Opera House last night.
From the opening hymn, "Steal away
to Jesus" through the entire program,
lasting two hours, the manifestations
Of pleasure were sincere and continu-
Gus. The solos and the quartette of
male voices were especially captivating
and insisteEtly encored. In fact, the
programme was nearly doubled by the
gracious responses to the demands of
the audience.
