**The Soweto Gospel Choir is returning to Strathmore Music Center!** **If you've never heard them, you're in for an experience! Click [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbulUzkDJaE&t=16s).**

The 3-time Grammy Award-winning and Emmy Award-winning [Soweto Gospel Choir](https://www.sowetogospelchoir.com/) returns to North America with Peace—a joyful program of South African freedom songs, traditional spirituals, and beloved classics. This inspirational concert also features a cappella renditions of music by Aretha Franklin, Harry Belafonte, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Leonard Cohen, and more.

The choir was formed in 2002 in Soweto, the heart of Nelson Mandela’s democratic movement, toward the end of South African apartheid. Soweto Gospel Choir quickly established itself as a group that is “undeniably synchronized, appears unshakable, and simultaneously expresses universality and individuality” (*San Francisco Classical Voice*). Praised by Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Barack Obama, and Oprah Winfrey, the choir excites audiences worldwide, uplifting the soul and spreading joy through earthy rhythms, rich harmonies, brilliant costumes, and infectious spirit.

**If anyone is interested in meeting up before the show, we can meet at 6:45pm for a bite to eat or drinks** at [Allegro Kitchen](https://www.strathmore.org/your-visit/dining/allegro-kitchen/), located on the Promenade Level in the Music Center. Let us know in the comments section below.
