December 14, 2014, 4 PM, my work Songs Of Strength And Hope From The African-American Tradition is performed by the Oakland Symphony Chorus and the Oakland Symphony at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California. A medley of the traditional songs Motherless Child, Wade In The Water, This Little Light Of Mine and Down By The Riverside. This piece was performed in June of 2015 by the Oakland Symphony Chorus in the Eastern European cities of Prague, Budapest and Vienna, and was well-received.
