We Shall Overcome

24 members of Manchester University's A Cappella Choir recorded my arrangement of We Shall Overcome from their homes after evacuating campus. This is their message of hope to students, faculty, staff, and the wider community during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Even Coronavirus can’t stop Manchester University’s A Cappella Choir from coming together virtually. Students in the choir perform “We Shall Overcome” in a special arrangement by Professor Debra Lynn. Typically a signature concert-ender for the choir, this song takes on a whole new meaning during finals week, Spring 2020. To all MU students, we’re proud of the strength and resilience you’ve shown this year! Go Spartans!
