TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo Symphony Strings will perform a concert Feb. 28 in honor of Black History Month at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in West Toledo.
The candlelight performance of "On Angels' Wings, We Soar to the Light" will be directed by Maestro Chelsea Tipton II. The concert starts at 8 p.m.
The Toledo Symphony Strings will perform music in the spirituals genre. Many of the songs were composed while persons were enslaved. The music will reflect a sense of oppression and is designed to be uplifting.
Compositions to be performed include Old Time Religion, Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen, and All God's Children Got Wings.
