Hello Members of TSP.  This is your page. It was created to be a hub for disseminating information, such as upcoming rehearsals and events, and to assist you with learning the various pieces of music that we will be performing.  I hope you find it to be a helpful resource. .

The following link will take you to the DU Lamont School of Music webpage that has information about The Spirituals Project, including our current performing activities.  Feel free to share it with your friends, but not our portfolio page, which is private and exclusively for TSP members.  The Lamont homepgae has a list of "Special Pages" at the bottom (this is an update). The very first item on the list is "The Spirituals Project Choir."
