Celebrate Black History Month as you learn about the stone carvings of William Edmondson, his contribution to African American Art, and the intriguing time in which he lived and worked. Join us as Nashville’s own Princely Players use traditional folk music, spirituals, and prose to tell the story of the great artist in their award-winning performance “The Life of William Edmondson”. Audiences of all ages will enjoy this interactive, educational and entertaining performance!

In the tradition of the Jubilee Singers and the Fairfield Four, The Princely Players offer evocative and stunning programs on the enslavement and liberation of African-Americans. Performing together since the 1960s, the ensemble has presented their unique program of spirituals, work songs, hymns, and songs of freedom at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Yale University, Ryman Auditorium, Little Rock’s Festival of Religious Arts and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC--among many others. With song and poetry from the earliest sources of African American music in this country to the civil war and the civil rights movement, The Princely Players deliver performances with superb voices and exceptional stage presence.
