Our Mission

Founded by the late Dr. Kenneth Brown Billups, The Legend Singers have existed since 1940 to:

perform and preserve the music and performance practices of African Americans;

perform music by non-African American composers who have been influenced by African American music forms and performance practices;

develop outreach programs that educate the community and public and to continue the tradition of excellence in artistic performance of African American choral music.
