The Legend Singers was founded to perform and preserve the music and performance practices of African Americans. They are the longest, continuously performing African-American choral group in the nation.
Founded in 1940, the original ensemble consisted of students in the Sumner High School A cappella Choir. Over the years, the group has carried on the legacy of its founder, Dr. Kenneth Brown Billups, by performing music of our foremost African American composers and arrangers; indigenous music of the African American Folk Genre; Spirituals; Art Songs; Jazz; and arrangements that depict the African American idiom in music.
