"What is Your Hand in This?" brings together George Frederick Handel with Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer," "Chester" by William Billings, spirituals and Frank Sinatra's "The House I Live In." Davóne Tines sings, as does the Lemington Gospel Chorale, conducted by Reverend Deryk Tines, who is the cousin of Davóne Tines. Pittsburgh will be the grand finale of a successful tour to Carnegie Hall in New York; Portland, Oregon; Washington, DC; and San Francisco. The Washington Classical Review said the shape of the program was "an artwork in itself."
