Seeds of the soul: The community of enslaved people who lived and worked at Monticello developed musical traditions that influenced American music for centuries. Sacred Music of Monticello presents a program juxtaposing spirituals associated with Monticello’s enslaved people with a modified version of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, a composition found in the library at Thomas Jefferson’s home. The program features soprano Brianna Robinson and countertenor Patrick Dailey, as well as the world premiere of spirituals arranged by baritone James Dargan.
Sunday 3/6. $10-25, 7:30pm. Christ Episcopal Church, 120 W. High St. earlymusiccville.org
