Join us for an extraordinary evening of powerful choral music as we celebrate our 25th Annual Concert. This milestone event will take you on a musical journey that spans genres, cultures, and centuries, showcasing the transformative power of music in the African American tradition.
This special event will feature a diverse repertoire, from the soulful melodies of Way Over in Beulah Lan’ and Steal Away to the soaring grandeur of Beethoven’s Hallelujah Chorus and Bruckner’s Christus factus est pro nobis obediens. With works by celebrated composers like Hall Johnson, Nathan Carter, and Moses Hogan, this performance highlights the enduring legacy of spirituals, hymns, and classical choral masterpieces.
We are thrilled to enhance the evening with a chamber orchestra, adding a rich, full-bodied sound that elevates the choral experience. The Chorale will also honor the African American spiritual tradition with arrangements such as Ride On, King Jesus, The Battle of Jericho, and Elijah, Rock!, alongside poignant hymns and anthems like Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing and The Majesty and Glory of Your Name. These powerful pieces reflect the depth of faith, resilience, and hope that have shaped our Divinely led journey and have become audience favorites over the years.
As we mark this important anniversary, we invite you to experience not just the music but the special additions to the evening that will make this concert even more memorable. We will celebrate a Season of Thanks, culminating 25 years of music, community, and shared memories with our HSC family and friends.
Don’t miss this special performance, where each note tells a story of perseverance, faith, and the timeless power of music.
