Keep Together - City Soul Choir

Friday Dec 5th & Saturday Dec 6th at 7:30 pm

Canadian Memorial Church (15th and Burrard)

City Soul Choir under the joyous and brilliant direction of Karla Mundy, backed by the incredible band of Michael Creber (piano), Brent Gubbels (bass), Adam Rohrlick (guitar), and Craig Scott (drums) offer you "Keep Together", not one but two nights, Friday December 5th and Saturday December 6th. The repertoire for these concerts consists of songs that are tried and true recipes for making the world a better, safer, more loving and inclusive place. City Soul Choir got a back to school gift by way of a workshop from musical director and educator Lonnie Norwood from Chicago. We’re honoured to feature some songs from the Chicago Gospel scene and from tradition bearers in Madagascar and Nigeria.

What a great evening! Recently, I heard the City Soul Choir, conducted by Brian Tate, in a concert of songs that was both moving and a joy to hear! Brian and Patricia Tate have created in the City Soul Choir one of the most exciting musical programs Vancouver has to offer.

The City Soul Choir has the power to draw you in close...everyday people find their extraordinary voices, and what a pleasure that is to behold.
