This emotional and powerful concert program includes a wide range of composers and genres, including Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," a movement from the Brahms Requiem, Pucell's stunning "Hear My Prayer," African-American spirituals, Alicia Keys, Sara Bareilles, "You're All I Need to Get By" by Marin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and the gospel classic "Total Praise" by Richard Smallwood.
