Best of Gospel

The BEST OF HARLEM GOSPEL on tour in Germany Grammy Award-winner Reverand GREGORY M. KELLY presents ‘Music and song on behalf of the Lord’ with his choir

From Harlem to the big wide world. Grammy award-winner Reverand Gregory M. Kelly, who has already worked with music greats such as Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross, is going on a major tour of Germany with his choir from December 2024 to February 2025 and presenting ‘The Best of Harlem Gospel’.

Harlem - the neighbourhood in New York's Manhattan borough - is still famous for the heyday of African-American culture in the 1920s, known as the ‘Harlem Renaissance’, which attracted legends such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington to the area. Today, Harlem still proudly displays its African-American roots, vibrant culture, strong faith and musical rhythm.

REV. GREGORY M. KELLY & the BEST OF HARLEM GOSPEL exude the pure joie de vivre, energy and dynamism that can be experienced at every mass in the churches of the New York neighbourhood. The ensemble's singers read like a who's who of the active US gospel scene. The BEST OF HARLEM GOSPEL choir includes top-class singers such as Bishop Dr Charles R. Lyles, Tiffany Mosely, Steven McCaster, Dorrey Lin Lyles and Segdrick Marsh. A total of nine voices that transport the indescribable atmosphere of the gospel churches in Harlem to Germany's churches and concert halls.

The two-hour programme offers everything that makes gospel music so unique, rousing and moving. The choir's repertoire includes both traditional and pre-Christmas gospel songs - from the famous and much-loved gospel classics such as ‘Oh happy day’ and ‘Amen’ to ‘Whole world in his hands’ and ‘Go, tell it on the mountain’.

A gospel choir that cannot be compared to any other gospel formation. Religion plays just as important and fundamental a role here as it does in the lives of the people of Harlem. Because the religion practised in Harlem is nothing else: music and singing on behalf of the Lord. But no matter whether young or old, Catholic or Protestant, non-denominational or still unbelieving, everyone is welcome at the concerts.
