Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, conductor

With guest vocalists, a gospel choir and renowned Radio 2 presenter Trevor Nelson, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra and Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser trace a path from spirituals through gospel to soul, revealing the role of these genres in supporting the Civil Rights movement. Inspirational tracks made famous by Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin rub shoulders with hidden gems in a celebration of music that gave a voice to disenfranchised people, fostered a sense of community – and jumped with an infectious groove.
