Participants will learn captivating new music, by both reading and rote, and have the experience of becoming a community of reconciliation and joy—a choir that sings with transformative power and love.
The gospel choir of the twenty-first century is characterized by compassion and joy, flowing from the singers into the congregation and back again. The theme of the repertoire is Christ Has Broken Down the Wall, Draw the Circle Wide, and All Are Welcome. The choir’s membership is of diverse ages, races, classes, abilities, orientations, and beliefs. This ethos of celebrating all God’s children must be at the heart of the choir experience. A gifted choir director is an expert community organizer who lifts up the gifts of the individual while, at the same time, nurtures the beloved community through the unmatched power of singing as one. In this engaging and fun-filled workshop, participants will not only learn captivating new music, by both reading and rote, but also have the experience of becoming a community of reconciliation and joy—a choir that sings with transformative power and love.
