Description

Our Mission: Sharing the Hope, Joy, and Inspiration of African-American Gospel Music. Love in Harmony! We come together in harmony and with reverence for the tradition of African-American Gospel music — its artistry, history, strength, and resilience. We see the power of music to inspire and manifest love and connect to the divine in all of us. Our choir is a community that heals by lifting the human spirit.

In addition to our main concerts twice a year, we sing for benefits, church services, prisons, nursing homes, and memorial services, but the heart of what we do happens at our Monday evening rehearsals. It’s there that we share with each other, open our hearts, take chances, and witness the movement of the spirit. When all of that carries over into our concerts, we are all blessed.

Over the years we have performed under the Gospel Tent at the Discover Jazz Festival in Burlington, Vermont; at Montpelier’s First Night New Year’s Eve celebration; and at the Farmer’s Night concert series at the Vermont State House. We have been privileged with the opportunity to sing with Tammy Fletcher, Vermont’s homegrown blues great, and with gospel legend Fontella Bass and jazz trumpeter Lester Bowie.
