The Live in Studio C online archive only started in fairly recent history. But, the station archives go back through the duration of the show. Which is how, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, we were able to go back and remember a performance at the piano from former director Matthew Kennedy.

Dr. Kennedy performed selections from his album Familiar Favorites on June 22, 2004. Listen here.

A reflection on the legacy of Matthew Kennedy and his family’s time with the Fisk Jubilee Singers is available as part of WPLN’s special Three Castles and the Music City. Read more here.
