Freedom songs and music of Aretha Franklin, Harry Belafonte, and Mahalia Jackson will fill the venue and your soul. Enjoy holiday renditions of “Silent Night,” an exhilarating take on Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” and many more of your favorite Christmas carols performed as only Soweto Gospel Choir can do!
