Gospel Fest 2008 Arrives at MIT
How about a little college spirit!
When I think of Cambridge’s renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a lot of things instantly come to mind, first and foremost the treasure trove of brain power the university has among its students and professors.
This weekend, however, the 35+-year-old campus gospel choir will give the public something else to associate with the school, namely a love of gospel music. That’s because on Saturday, April 5, the first-ever Gospel Fest celebration will bring eight Boston-based college gospel groups to MIT to perform in a massive concert. Participants include:
- MIT Gospel Choir
- Boston College Voices of Imani
- Boston University Inner Strength Gospel Choir
- Brandeis Voices of Praise
- Kuumba Singers of Harvard College
- Northeastern University JDOAAI Unity Gospel Ensemble
- Tufts University Third Day Gospel Choir
- Wheaton Colleges Voices United To Jam
If you appreciate gospel music, Gospel Fest 2008 seems like a sure way to celebrate your faith in the company of fellow believers while also enjoying an evening of lively, spirited music.
Tickets for the general public are $10 in advance and $12 at the door, and organizers make it easy to purchase them online. Then, just show up on Saturday before 7pm at MIT’s La Sala de Puerto Rico (MIT Student Center, 2nd Floor, 84 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge) for a wonderful time. [More Information]
Take a look at the video clip after the jump for a sample of the MIT Gospel Choir in action. The song is “I Will Sing,” which the group performed during their Fall 2007 Concert on December 9, 2007.
