Upon These Shoulders is an annual event, launched in 2017 by Choral Arts Link and Intersection, working with community partners to celebrate the many heroes of the Civil Rights Movement, historically and today. Performances in this series have included the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by composer Jonathan Bailey Holland exploring race, equity and youth; a celebration of the music of Florence Price, and a 10 day residency by composer and performer Hannibal Lokumbe.

​

The 2026 performance honors the legacy and impact of Choral Arts Link and celebrates the 10th year of presenting Upon These Shoulders in Nashville.  The program will feature performances by the W. Crimm Singers, Fisk University Faculty, Alumni of Choral Arts Link, and Intersection.
