The Gospel Choir will be performing on Sunday, November 21, at 4 p.m. The free concert will be in the Fine Arts Center. Calvin's Gospel Choir is unique because it is a student-run. There are no auditions and students sing in the choir on their own time. The choir is led by a committee of students who schedule concerts, organize tours and manage finances.
Many students feel that the choir does just that.
I always feel alive once again when I hear some particular Negro-spirituals. They bring relief to me in times of despair because I know that it is no other person than God himself assuring me of his peace and love and success. Laura Johnson, a junior from Rehoboth, New Mexico, agrees. Alicia Van Der Bill, a senior elementary education major from Minneapolis, Minnesota, agreed that the purpose of the music is to praise God. Senior Wandell Smith of Dallas, Texas said she hopes the audience will join in.
