The multi-Grammy and Emmy Award-winning vocal ensemble returns to perform a joyful program of South African freedom songs, traditional spirituals, and some classics, featuring the spirited music of Aretha Franklin, Harry Belafonte, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Leonard Cohen, and more!

Formed in 2002, the Choir was created to celebrate the unique power of African gospel music and quickly established itself as a group that is “undeniably synchronized, appears unshakable, and simultaneously expresses universality and individuality” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Heralded by Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Barack Obama, and Oprah Winfrey, Soweto Gospel Choir excites audiences worldwide, uplifting the soul and spreading joy through its earthy rhythms, rich harmonies, brilliant costumes, and infectious spirit.

“Absolutely thrilling singers ... dazzling music.” (Billboard)

After the concert, enjoy a beverage and more music at the Postlude Performance in the Leslie and Anna Dan Galleria.

Presented in association with Batuki Music Society
