The multi-Grammy and Emmy Award-winning 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).
Praised by Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Barack Obama, and Oprah Winfrey, the choir excites audiences worldwide, uplifting the soul and spreading joy through earthy rhythms, rich harmonies, brilliant costumes, and infectious spirit.
