Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµ

Inherent in Gospel music is the idea that people can be transformed through music and prayer. The Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµ Singers host this exploration into Gospel music and its derivative genres of blues, hip-hop, and rap, with Dr. Emmett Price of Northeastern University, Donnell Patterson of The New England Conservatory of Music, Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµ dancers, and other special guests. This year’s theme: Stand Together, speaks to the hope that music can unite us even when societal events and conditions divide us as Americans.
