Singing Morgan State

Listen to this 'Talk of the Nation' topic

The Morgan State University Choir is it. If you don't know about them already, prepare to be amazed. Their accomplishments are too numerous to count, but they've performed all over the world; sung at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center; and won Emmy's for Maryland Public Television... and that's just the tip of the iceberg. What's more, our very own beloved director Gwen Outen sang there as a college student, under Dr. Nathan Carter, one of the most prestigious conductors, composers, and arrangers in choral music. Pretty great. Feel free to sing their praises in the comments section!

The choir was pretty inspiring!

Unfortunately, the choir's performances left me shaking my head in disbelief. With all the individual vibratos going all at once, grating against each other, there's no chance of singing in tune. The fantastic amount of talent of the choir is sadly overshadowed by the "old-school" mentality. Break the mold, and sing as one.
