African-American Spiritual
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river in my soul.
I've got pain like an arrow,
I've got pain like an arrow,
I've got pain like an arrow in my soul.
I've got strength like a mountain,
I've got strength like a mountain,
I've got strength like a mountain in my soul.
I've got joy like a fountain,
I've got joy like a fountain,
I've got joy like a fountain in my soul.
I've got determination,
I've got determination,
I've got determination in my soul.

"The Dream Keepers: A Couple"
A Love Story told through Jazz
But not just any love story….the true love story of two of our founders. We performed the world premiere of a piece we commissioned by composer and performer, Adam Maness, for women’s chorus and jazz trio to celebrate our dream keepers: Richard and Mary Ann Shaw.
