Carls in the Washington, D.C. area, along with host Katie Berg '03, invite you to an evening performance with the multi-Grammy and Emmy Award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir at the beautiful Strathmore Music Center.
The Soweto Gospel Choir returns to North America with Peace—a joyful program of South African freedom songs, traditional spirituals, and beloved classics. This inspirational concert also features a cappella renditions of music by Aretha Franklin, Harry Belafonte, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Leonard Cohen, and more.
Formed in 2002 to celebrate the unique power of African gospel music, Soweto Gospel Choir quickly established itself as a group that is “undeniably synchronized, appears unshakable, and simultaneously expresses universality and individuality” —San Francisco Classical Voice.
