    Washington Area Tougaloo Alumni Chapter Presents: Tougaloo College Internationally Acclaimed Concert Choir In Concert National City Christian Church Washington, D.C. Sunday, March 8, 2020 3:00 pm (Pictured) Historical Woodworth Chapel, Tougaloo College The Tougaloo College Concert Choir The Tougaloo College Concert Choir, currently under the direction of Professor Karl Twyner, has been in existence for more than 132 years and has maintained a distinguished reputation. The Choir’s repertoire has included standard classical choral pieces by composers such as Bach, Handel, Faure’, Benjamin Britten, Samuel Barber, Randall Thompson, and other notable composers. The choir also specializes in “a cappella’ spiritual arrangements by distinguished African American composers such as Nathaniel Dett, Hall Johnson, Moses Hogan, H.T. Burleigh, Stacey V. Gibbs and many others. The Choir has traveled extensively throughout the Midwest, Southeast, and East Coast of the United States. In 2000, the group performed at the annual concert of the Mississippi Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. The Concert Choir was featured in the world premiere of “Traces of Mississippi,” a work for chorus, orchestra, narrators, and rap artists composed by Ann Le Baron as part of the Continental Harmony Project, which was nationally televised on the American Public Broadcasting Station. The Choir has performed, by invitation, for the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington, D. C. In 2001, the Choir was also invited to the inauguration of the 18th President of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where they performed during the Inaugural Convocation and were featured with the Brown University Orchestra at the Inaugural Concert. In the fall of 2003, the Concert Choir performed with the Orlando Consort of Great Britain in the historic Woodworth Chapel and in 2006 with Fretwork, a violin group also from Great Britain.

In doing so: a Wherever possible agencies should attempt to direct program funds and technical assistance resources towards improving administrative and education infrastructures of historically Black colleges and universities. b In cases where agencies project decreased funding for all higher education institutions, they should strive to increase the percentage share allocated to historically Black colleges and universities consistent with law. c Agencies should continue to eliminate identified unnecessary and irrelevant procedures, prerequisites, and policies to the participation of historically Black colleges and universities in Federal programs and to accelerate activities to single out those policies or regulations which have inhibited full participation in such programs by historically Black colleges and universities.
