KENT, Conn.—The Kent Singers will present their spring concert, “The Gift to Sing,” on Sunday, March 23, at 3 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Church. The concert will be conducted by James Knox Sutterfield.

This concert features the world premiere of a newly commissioned setting from composer Jonathan Woody of the poem “The Gift to Sing” by James Weldon Johnson.

The program also includes Stephen Paulus’ setting of “The Road Home” by the American poet Michael Dennis Browne, which was performed in January at the funeral service for President Jimmy Carter.

Tickets are $20 and are available here or at the door.

The commission project is supported in part by an Alfred Nash Patterson Grant.
