Choir rehearsals have taken place at St. John Missionary Baptist Church, where the concert will be held, as well as other churches in northeast Oklahoma City.
Thompson said the
concert will include Christmas and gospel classics as well as music
from “Shout for Joy,” a work by a composer named Adolphus
Hailstork. She said the work is about 15 minutes long with brass,
organ and choir.
She said brass
players will play a prelude about 10 minutes before the show, which
will begin at 7 p.m.
