On Demand Programs and Events! and Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, located at
801 West State Street, Trenton, NJ are proud to partner in presenting the world premiere of a new concert work, Lord, Write My Name

Nationally recognized Baritone Vocalist, Keith Spencer and award-winning composer, pianist and arranger, Peter Hilliard have teamed up to create this unique musical tapestry of African American Spirituals. A musical blend of African American Spirituals is interspersed with narratives, poetry, and letters penned by freed slaves and iconic Black figures throughout history. It explores the plight of those enslaved mourning in servitude, the redemptive story of the Gospel, and ultimately, their claimed identity as a freed people.

Well known spirituals performed by Mr. Spencer, include: “Deep River,” “My Good Lord’s Done Been Here,” “Nobody knows the Trouble I Seen,” “Steal Away,” and several others brilliantly arranged and played by Hilliard for the first time in public.
