ITHACA, N.Y. — The Dorothy Cotton Jubilee Singers (DCJS) will present an afternoon of Negro Spirituals at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27, in Kulp Auditorium at Ithaca High School.
The DCJS, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, Ithaca-based organization, is dedicated to preserving the Negro Spiritual and its themes of sorrow, despair, and hope to promote racial healing and social justice; and to furthering civil rights leader (and longtime Ithaca resident) Dorothy Cotton’s message of freedom and hope through music.
DCJS has 100 members, including two dozen Ithaca College voice students, who perform many of the solos, alongside community members of different ages (18 to 82), heritages and backgrounds. It is led by Founding Director Dr. Baruch Whitehead, associate professor of music education at Ithaca College.
