“But the biggest musical surprise of the evening came during the Mississippi Mass Choir’s set. Even though youth predominates this vocal ensemble in terms of numbers, the most vibrant soloist was 81-year-old Mosie Burks. Her voice exuded raw enthusiasm and emphasized spirit over surface polish, which became even more forceful when she performed a classic gospel holy dance.”
