Sweet Honey in the Rock
Eisenhower Auditorium
The a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock performs a program honoring the array of holiday traditions that mark the end of the year. Founded in Washington, DC, in 1973, the African American female vocal group gets its name from Psalm 81:16, which speaks of a promise to be fed by honey out of a rock. The metaphor aptly describes the ensemble's repertoire steeped in the sacred music of the African American church, the clarion calls of the civil rights movement, and songs of the struggle for justice everywhere. The ensemble fashions its music from the sounds of the blues, spirituals, gospel, rap, reggae, African chants, hip-hop, and jazz. Sweet Honey's collective voice, sometimes accompanied by hand percussion instruments, produces soulful harmonies and intricate rhythms.
