UMN Morris Performing Arts Series: And Now I See Race, Racism & American Music
2026-03-28 19:30 - 21:00 | University of Minnesota Morris, 600 E 4th St, Morris, MN, 56267
Join the acclaimed a cappella group Ball in the House for And Now I See Race, Racism, & American Music—a dynamic, entertaining, and deeply moving performance that celebrates the enduring legacy of African American music. From the spirituals sung in the fields to the beats that drive today’s chart-toppers, this show traces the powerful evolution of Black musical expression across generations and genres.
With stunning vocal harmonies and high-energy stage presence, Ball in the House takes audiences on a musical journey through Spirituals, Gospel, Jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop, and R&B—highlighting not only the cultural significance of each genre, but also their shared roots and transformative impact on American music. The show also thoughtfully explores the ways racism has shaped and challenged these musical traditions, while honoring the resilience and innovation of the artists behind them.
Backed by a rich resume of national and international performances, Ball in the House brings both star power and educational insight to this eye-opening production. Based in Boston, this R&B/Soul/Pop powerhouse has opened for legends like The Beach Boys, The Temptations, and Gladys Knight, and appeared on America’s Got Talent, The TODAY Show, and major festivals worldwide. Their impressive credits also include jingles for Cool Whip and Amazon Prime Day, as well as a global reach from Beijing to Seoul.
Perfect for audiences of all ages, this is more than a concert—it’s a tribute, a history lesson, and a celebration of music’s power to connect, uplift, and inspire.
This event is brought to you by the Campus Activities Council Performing Arts Series.

The concert presents a vibrant journey through sacred and dramatic soundscapes, featuring Liszt’s stately March of the Three Holy Kings, evoking the grandeur of the Magi’s pilgrimage. Saint-Saëns’ Danse Bacchanale adds fiery, exotic flair with its rhythmic intensity and vivid orchestration. Taylor Scott Davis’ Magnificat, a modern choral masterpiece, offers a reflective yet powerful setting of Mary’s song of praise. Highlighting the evening is the angelic artistry of the St. John’s Boys’ Choir, whose voices bring a unique purity and emotional depth to the program. Together, these works celebrate faith, passion, and the transcendent power of music.
