Local music icons will join the choir on stage as they perform music from the “golden” eras of classic gospel to crossover, and today's genres and subgenres including urban contemporary gospel, Southern gospel, gospel blues and more.

Tickets are $7, or $5 each for groups of 20 or more, with advance purchase required. Call 205-975-2787 for ticket information. Visit the UAB Department of Music online.
