Avenue S. The Women's Auxiliary
of the Minneapolis Urban League
is sponsoring this concert for the
benefit of scholarship fund.
Organized In 1871
The present group of Fisk sing
ers has inherited the finest musical
tradition of any musical organiza-
ton in America. The lavish praise
that music critics throughout the
country have had for these singers
proves that they are, in every re-
spect, worthy opponents of the
reputation established by their
predecessors. The original Fisk
Jubilee Singers were organized in
1871 at a time when Fisk Univer-
sity was housed in a one story hos
pital barracks, recently evacuated
by troops of the Union Army.
Henry Ward Beecher, the most
popular minister in the country, at
that time, was one of the principal
sponsors of the group.
Toured Abroad
Following their American tour
they were sent abroad where they
sang in the leading concert halls
of England, Holland, Scotland and
other European countries. Their
chief motive at that time was that
of raising money for their school,
but now that Fisk University is
one of the leading educational in
stitutions in the country, holding
membership in the Association of
American Universities, with physi-
cal equipment valued at four and
a half million dollars, the Fisk
Jubilee Singers are dedicated to the
preservation of Negro folk music.
Throughout their history, the Fisk
singers have kept in their singing
the Interpretation of the spirituals
drawn from the hearts of millions
of Negro people. The singers in
terpret with profound understand
ing the wide range of emotional
life embodied in these songs. They
were the first group of Negro
singers to appear in the Hollywood
Bowl, and within the past year
have sung with the great SYM
phonies in Los Angeles, Boston and
Detroit.

capacity at Incarnation Church
