The American Spiritual Ensemble Returns to the Secrest Auditorium

ZANESVILLE, OH – The American Spiritual Ensemble preformed at Secrest on January 29th.

The American Spiritual Ensemble made a returned visit to the Secrest Auditorium. They performed a couple years ago, and the audience went wild. So, they were brought back for another fabulous concert. They performed a two-hour concert that consisted of telling a story with choral music.

“Artists will even come out in the audience and sing to the audience in a part of the concert. So wherever you’re seated you might have a singer right in your ear after a while. It’s a fun event.” Zanesville Concert Association Booking Agent, Jim McLaughlin stated.

The American Spiritual Ensemble’s mission is to continue the tradition of storytelling through performance. Performing these spirituals serves as a tribute to the lives lost and destroyed during the times of slavery in the United States.
The American Spiritual Ensemble wants to promote and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black history month.

“I’m a choral teacher. So, I am looking for the choral singing. And there will be spiritual music and if we think about Martin Luthor King, and Black History Month this fits in perfectly with this time in our community.” McLaughlin said.
