Sing Spirituals to Soothe the Soul Gwen Wyatt Chorale
Brining joy wherever it performs, this multigenerational, mulitiethnic choral group has performed at the Mormon Tabernacle, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, in the projects of South Central, and on a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Singing uplifting African American folk spirituals in the time-honored traditional way as coached by Jester Hairston, the Gwen Wyatt Chorale raise their voices in a cappella song, with choreographed movement to enhance the storytelling aspect of the music. An inspiring, participatory event for all ages, the Chorale will perform "call-and-response" songs as well traditional work songs, close "barber shop" harmonies, and humorous character and Jubilee songs accompanied by keyboards and rhythm instruments.
