What does gospel music mean today? The Proms
explores this emotive and richly varied world –
the meeting and mixing of musical styles of
four continents. Leading vocal ensembles
combine with community choirs and soloists
to create a thrilling massed wall of sound for
favourites such as ‘How Great Thou Art’, ‘Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot’ and ‘O Happy Day’,
interspersed with individual contributions. The
British-Caribbean People’s Christian Fellowship
Choir juxtaposes popular hymns with calypso
choruses, while the London Adventist Chorale
reminds us how African Americans turned to
spirituals in their fight for freedom. Muyiwa &
Riversongz bring West African highlife praise to
another level, while the London Community
Gospel Choir merges Caribbean and African
traditions with new
songs inspired by funk
and rock.Tickets £12 - £16.
