The University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts will be the first stop on the Tuskegee University Golden Voices choir spring tour. &nbsp;

Under the direction of Dr. Wayne Barr, the choir will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 4.

The Tuskegee choir is an organization steeped in more than a century of pride and the richest of choral traditions.&nbsp;

From the beginning years of its history, students at Tuskegee Institute were encouraged to express themselves in communal singing.&nbsp;

Founder Booker T. Washington insisted on the singing of African-American spirituals by everyone in attendance at the weekly chapel worship services, a tradition which continues today.&nbsp;
