Described as spiritual, joyful, powerful, and raucous, Shape Note (or Sacred Harp) singing is a traditional American style of four-part, a capella, community singing popular in the United States before the Civil War. This style still thrives across the US and in the UK, with strongholds in the American South and New England. It is called Shape Note because the notes of the scale are indicated by distinctive shapes and names.

The Grammy award-winning Imani Winds joins forces with dynamic pianist and composer Stewart Goodyear. Blending music and narrative—and inspired by the African American folktale “The People Could Fly”—this program marks America’s 250th year with a mediation on freedom, memory, and transformation. Rather than a patriotic celebration, it offers a space for reflection—a journey through works by living composers who give voice to migration, resistance, and the ongoing pursuit of justice.
