About Harlem Gospel Choir

Harlem Gospel Choir on Tour

Raise your hands and praise the Lord when the Harlem Gospel Choir comes to town. An internationally renowned ensemble known for big voices and an even bigger spirit "inspired by God to be even more inspired," Harlem Gospel Choir packs all the energy of a mass choir into a nine-piece ensemble that includes two roof-raising contraltos and four titanic tenors. Expect an energetic night of hand-clapping, foot-stomping excitement as the choir performs a repertoire that includes gospel hits both old and new, traditional music and the occasional pop hit. The choir has toured extensively across the United States and abroad, becoming the first American gospel group to perform in Australia, New Zealand, China, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Serbia, Slovenia, Samoa, Thailand, Burma and Morocco. They have performed for three Presidents (Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter and Nelson Mandela), two Popes (John Paul II and Benedict XVI) and the United Nations General Assembly. And they have recorded with Keith Richards, the Chieftains and Trace Adkins, among many others.

About Harlem Gospel Choir

Entertainment-industry veteran Allen Bailey formed Harlem Gospel Choir on January 15, 1986, which also happens to be Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. The choir's nine-piece touring groups, accompanied by two instrumentalists on drums and keyboards, draw from a pool of some 40 members. They divide and conquer by touring the world while maintaining an all-you-can-eat Sunday-brunch residency at Sony Hall in Manhattan's Times Square. A typical show includes Kurt Carr's "In the Sanctuary," Israel Houghton's "You Are Good" and Kirk Franklin's high-octane "Looking for You," along with gospel standards such as "Oh Happy Day" and "Amazing Grace." The choir also does astounding things with Beyoncé's "Halo" and traditional numbers such as "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "Every Time I Feel the Spirit." As Allen Bailey modestly told Ohio State University's The Lantern about this tuneful spiritual vessel, "We only have one superstar in this group and that's Jesus Christ, superstar."

    Great food and the entertainment itself was decent but let’s not kid on. 5 singers doesn’t make a choir

  • Harlem brings gospel to CBus!

    by eonj on 10/8/18Lincoln Theatre - COLUMBUSRating: 5 out of 5

    The Harlem Choir had the soldout Columbus crowd dancing in the aisles! Few patrons could sit still as the gospel song beat rocked the auditorium from start to finish. The choir members took turns as featured performer; each one giving their awesome contribution to the hit packed evening. Thank goodness they gave the audience several breaks or their would have been cardiac alerts across excitable attendees. Mercy, mercy!!

  • Gospel Choir not traditional gospel music

    by 75CJ on 10/8/18Lincoln Theatre - COLUMBUSRating: 3 out of 5

    Whereas I enjoyed the performance I felt a bit let down by the lack of traditional gospel music which is what I was expecting and really wanted to hear. My personal feeling was the group, although entertaining, left me feeling a bit disappointed without a real focus on moving gospel music that I love and enjoy. Rather, it was an amalgamation of uptempo modernly written gospel songs and rock music. I realize this is a trend to modernize gospel music with percussion and loud instrumental accompaniment. But it is not my preference. This could have been remedied by the inclusion of more traditional soul searching gospel music and then supplemented by some of the modernized versions. Otherwise, yes the show was somewhat entertaining but the modernization of traditional moving and heart rendering soulful gospel music simply was not my cup of tea. Meanwhile, our seats were perfect for viewing the performance.

  • Harlem Gospel Choir rocked the Lincoln!

    by red1234gret on 10/8/18Lincoln Theatre - COLUMBUSRating: 5 out of 5

    This nine member group raised the roof with a combination of traditional gospel favorites and contemporary selections that also fit the program. Their combination of harmonies with the two person backup band brought to life a praise-worthy set of wonderful songs. They had the audience clapping and up and dancing throughout the evening.

  • Harlem Gospel Choir

    by Anonymous on 7/4/18Sony Hall - New YorkRating: 3 out of 5

    I enjoyed the Choir. However, the performance was only about one hour long. It was over shortly after it started! They should really extend it to at least two hours..

  • Harlem Gospel Choir amazing!!

    Harlem Gospel Choir amazing!! A nice Sunday with their beautiful songs

  • Disappointing

    by Bonnie1122 on 5/16/18Sony Hall - New YorkRating: 2 out of 5

    Brought these tickets for Mother's Day, and was expecting actual brunch/lunch type of food. Sadly the food was terrible, there were only sides for example, sweet potatoes, hash browns, bacon, sausage and mini muffins. There was no food of substance there was a sign listed for fried cod fish but inside the container was mushrooms in some sort of gravy. I've done this brunch before and in the past they've had chicken wings, french toast, and other entree type elements. The show was only an hour long but the music was good. The space seemed like a dirty night club that hadn't been cleaned since the night before.

  • Harlem Greatness Gospel Best

    by FDA007 on 5/16/18Sony Hall - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    Wonderful, spirit filled and lovely Mothers Day Brunch ... Very very nice and very on point

  • Mother’s Day

    by Moon114 on 5/16/18Sony Hall - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    The Atomosphere and Staff was Amazing! The only thing that took me by surprise was the Venue apparently was out of the Fish that Complimented the Amazing Grits. Although they substituted with French Toast, it was a bit of a disappointment. However, I appreciate that they had each Station labeled. The ambiance was truly amazing...

  • Really Bad Experience

    by BBisashamed on 4/4/18B.B. King Blues Club & Grill - New YorkRating: 1 out of 5

    Easter brunch was really really bad. Food was unidentifiable. Lights were low to hide filth. Entertainment was laughable.
