In celebration of Black History Month, the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir presents an homage to old school gospel. Performing spirituals and traditional gospel songs under the direction of Terrance Kelly and joined by the amazing Linda Tillery, this show is sure to inspire and uplift the crowd.
Under the direction of the Emmy-winning Terrance Kelly, the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir brings together over 50 singers and 4 instrumentalists who embody a community of diverse races, cultures, and faiths. They also share an uncontainable passion for music. Their mission is to inspire joy and unity among all people through black gospel and spiritual music. Judging by their audiences' reactions: clapping, cheering, and singing along... it is apparent that they succeed in that mission.
Founded in 1986, the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir was born out of a gospel music workshop led by the exuberant Terrance Kelly at Living Jazz's Jazz Camp West. It became an independent non-profit organization in 1991, and since then, the award-winning Choir's exquisite harmonies and stirring gospel repertoire have led to performances with a wide variety of esteemed groups, such as The Prince of Kosher Gospel - Joshua Nelson, The Five Blind Boys of Alabama, and the Duke Ellington Orchestra. The Choir also appears on Grammy-winning albums by Linda Rondstadt, MC Hammer, Tramaine Hawkins, and others.
