Fisk Jubilee Singers and Ko-Thi Dance Company

The renowned, Grammy award-winning Fisk Jubilee Singers of Fisk University in Tennessee are an American a cappella ensemble that performs Negro spirituals originally sung by slaves prior to the Civil War. The first group of Singers arranged the music and took it on the road beginning in 1871 introducing the public to a new genre that remains a vibrant musical tradition today. Opening for them is the Ko-Thi Dance Company of Milwaukee, a beacon of African and Caribbean dance traditions since 1969. The Milton House Museum is proud to bring these exceptional performers to the community for an unforgettable night celebrating history, culture, and the arts. VIP guests will enjoy a special pre-concert reception with light refreshments and drink tickets, reserved premium seating for the performance, and exclusive pre- and post-show experiences with the performers. This concert helps support the preservation of the Milton House and the educational programs that share its powerful Underground Railroad story with thousands of visitors and students each year.
