Moses Hogan
Moses Hogan (1957-2003), a New Orleans-born composer, pianist, conductor, and founder of the Moses Hogan Chorale, singlehandedly revitalized the performances of American Negro Spirituals with his dynamic arrangements for both choral ensembles and solo performers. He is considered one of the world’s greatest arrangers of American Negro Spirituals.
