The Deep River Singers
A choral ensemble of accomplished musicians, educators, and music lovers
…..Our Mission…..
The mission of the Deep River Singers is to educate audiences and the community on the history of the Negro Spiritual through performance. Each performance provides a high-quality musical experience for all attendees coupled with an educational component. The Spirituals are a music we can all relate to and appreciate, regardless of our background. By sharing these songs and learning their story, we can better understand the human experience and history that links us all together.
Founded in 2022, the Deep River Singers are a North Carolina based vocal ensemble dedicated to the education and preservation of the Spirituals. The group specializes in historical and contemporary arrangements of the concert spiritual but has also expanded to other genres. Made up of a collection of artists from numerous states, DRS has a mission to spread the message of humanity, community, faith, comfort and encouragement through their music.
