Frederick, get ready for an unforgettable evening of music, culture, and tradition. 🎶

AARCH is proud to share a special opportunity to experience the renowned Morgan State University Choir as they bring their powerful voices and extraordinary musical tradition to Hood College’s historic Coffman Chapel.

Under the direction of Dr. Eric Conway, the Morgan State University Choir is recognized as one of the nation’s premier university choral ensembles. Their repertoire spans classical, gospel, and contemporary music, with a celebrated commitment to preserving and honoring the rich heritage of the African American spiritual.

From stages around the world to right here in Frederick, the choir has served as a cultural ambassador for Morgan State University, Baltimore, Maryland, and the United States.

Join us for an inspiring evening filled with soulful harmonies, powerful voices, and a musical tradition that carries generations of history with it.
