Description

CARO and Canadian Humanitarian is proud to bring Soweto Gospel Choir to the Esplanade on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 8:00 PM.

One of the most powerful gospel groups to ever be formed, The Soweto Gospel Choir, unprecedented winner of two consecutive Grammy's (2007/2008) is coming to the Esplanade for a rousing night of hip swaying, spirit-moving songs and joyful jubilation.

The Soweto Gospel Choir has played with the likes of Sting, and Peter Gabriel and numerous other contemporary stars to rave reviews.

The New York Times calls them "Meticulous and Unstoppable," and the Scotland Herald states: "You don't have to be a believer to be inspired." The Soweto Gospel Choir was formed to celebrate the unique and inspirational power of African Gospel music. The 26-strong choir, under the direction of David Mulovhedzi and Beverly Bryer, draws on the best talent from the many churches in and around Soweto.

Cost to see the Grammy Award winning group is $44.00 + S/C, GST.

Pre-sales for Esplanade Members start Wednesday October 21. Public Sales start Friday, October 23 at 10 AM.
