“This Friday, May 1, at 12 pm, join Professor Johnny Butler as he serves as the lecturer for CAS’s (College of Arts and Sciences) “Last Lecture”. He will reflect on the 18-month journey of the UDC Chorale’s debut recording, “My Soul is a Witness for My Lord: The Choral Music of Phillip McIntyre.” It’s a milestone conversation that highlights the dedication, artistry, and scholarship that brought the project to life. This lecture follows last week’s Spring Concert, continuing a meaningful season of music, storytelling and celebration within the UDC community. The lecture will feature the premiere of a mini-documentary on the recording process, including behind-the-scenes photos and interviews with members of the Chorale and other musical participants, followed by an informal listening session.
Join the UDC Chorale and be a part of a dynamic community of student musicians committed to excellence in story selling through song. Step into your voice - your seat in the Chorale awaits.”

The University of the District of Columbia Chorale’s premiere recording, “My Soul is a Witness for My Lord (The Choral Music of Phillip McIntyre)“ will be available on most streaming platforms on Friday, March 27th.
This project was recorded during the summer months of 2025, and features Concert Spiritual arrangements, hymn arrangements, and one self-composed Sacred work by the late Mr. Phillip McIntyre. McIntyre was a Professor of Music at the University from 1987 to 1991.
The choir’s collaborative pianist for this project was Mrs. Leona Lowery - Fitzhugh, and it is under the direction of Professor Johnny H. Butler III.

Robert “Bobby” Felder was a towering figure in the Washington, D.C. music community. Bobby joined the faculty of the Federal City College in 1968 which later merged to form the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) in 1976. He served as the Director of Instrumental Music and Music Education at UDC for 23 years, where he was instrumental in establishing the Felix E. Grant Jazz Archives and the annual Calvin Jones BIG BAND Jazz Festival. Throughout his retirement, he remained active as a performer and mentor. Rest in Power, Bobby. Thank you for your many years of dedicated service to the music and musicians.
