Northeast Ohio Fymn Festival

From Mary Louise (Enigson) VanDyke '47:

The fifth Northeast Ohio Hymn Festival will be held the weekend of October 8-10 in Finney Chapel at 4 p.m. Nolan Williams, Jr., O.C. '90 is bringing his choir from D.C. to direct it. He is editor of The African American Heritage Hymnal (G.I.A.2001). The weekend activities include workshop for choir directors but is open to all about performance practices related to African American worship music - accompaniment styles, diction, etc.etc. Co-sponsor of the event is the Oberlin College Office of Religious and Spiritual Life. Activities will be integrated that weekend with the Oberlin College Alumni of African American Ancestry, as they are holding their reunion at the same time.
