African Children’s Choir
Thursday, April 10
7:30 p.m.

African Children's Choir: Journey of Hope is joyful music that is a blend of song and dance throughout the entire continent of Africa, featuring more than 10 languages and unique cultural dancing. And of course, gospel favorites. Following the brutal reign of Idi Amin in Uganda during which hundreds of thousands of children were orphaned and left starving to death, the African Children's Choir was born. In fact, it was the singing of one small child that inspired the founder, Ray Barnett, and his team of volunteers to recruit the first African Children's Choir from amongst these desperate children. Their mission was and is to show the world that Africa's most needy and vulnerable children have beauty, dignity and unlimited ability. The Choir continues to perform every year at many prestigious events. Some of the recent include "American Idol," "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," UN General Assembly, OneXOne Foundation Gala, Live 8, Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall in London.
