The American Spiritual Ensemble has delighted audiences world-wide.

"...the American Spiritual Ensemble led by Dr. Everett McCorvey sang one of the greatest concerts I have ever heard. McCorvey's mission for the fifteen years since he founded this group is to perform the music of the great African-American spirituals both in this country and abroad, and to teach people about this music with hopes that this rich, broad, and culturally important repertoire will feature more prominently on our concert programs and in our schools."

"The prodigious voices of the North American group the American Spiritual Ensemble made the audience tremble with emotions this past Sunday at the plaza of Santa Maria la Real, of Najera...

Until then, we have this unexpected treat from Albany, one of the most inspiring, intense, heartfelt collections of Spirituals to come along in many a year..."
