March 9, 2017—Charleston SC—The
Charleston Gospel Choir
is pleased to present its 2017 spring performance entitled Women: Honoring Global Sisterhood,
Saturday, April 8, 5:00 p.m. at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church,
405 King Street, Charleston, under the musical direction of David A.
Richardson.
Through song and
narration, the performance showcases the historical struggles of
African-American women here in the U.S. and around the globe. Paying
homage to the achievements of these women, the Choir will
celebrate the struggles and triumphs of our mothers, sisters, aunts, and family of women.
The internationally
acclaimed Choir will perform moving gospel and spiritual standards by
gospel greats including Walter Hawkins’
He's That Kind of Friend, Hezekiah Walker’s Grateful, Richard Smallwood’s
Trust Me, and many others. The lyrics of chosen selections will honor our sisters-at-large for their integrity here and around the globe.
“Women have always
provided our communities with stability, but most importantly have given
us our future, through birth and nurturing and raising of children.
Conceiving and producing a performance in their
honor is a highlight of my shared 17-year experience with the choir,”
said Lee Pringle, Choir President and event producer.
“I gain so much
comfort preparing the Choir for this moving collection of songs
carefully chosen to convey how all of us feel about the strong women in
our lives and their achievements. I look forward to lifting
this music up high to demonstrate our love and togetherness,” said
David A. Richardson, Music Director.
