CANCELLED: I Go On Singing: Paul Robeson’s Life in His Words & Songs

This concert/story of Paul Robeson, originally scheduled for this Sunday at Warren UMC, will be held at a later date.

The story of this American hero, Paul Robeson, who struggled and triumphed comes alive in a rousing 90-minute song-filled presentation performed by Pittsburgh native and gifted American baritone and international ambassador of peace, Anthony Brown. “I Go On Singing” brings music and history alive with equal parts documentary and live concert experience. Musical numbers range from spirituals to Broadway, and include Robeson’s original arrangements of favorites like “Wade in the Water,” “Ol’ Man River,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” “Water Boy,” and many others. Robeson’s musical colleague, the legendary folk singer Pete Seeger, makes three video appearances discussing his friendship with Robeson, the music they shared, and the turbulent times in which they lived. “Once in a lifetime, a human being comes along who stands head and shoulders above the rest. Paul Robeson was such a man.” A freewill offering will be accepted.
