An intersection of devotional and traditional music, WE SING TOGETHER brings two culturally diverse and outstanding vocal choirs to one of LA’s historic cultural monuments. The Gwen Wyatt Chorale, a 40-strong multiethnic, multigenerational vocal ensemble, will make a joyful noise in the spirit-lifting tradition of African-American sacred song.  Performing a cappella, in the time-honored fashion as coached by the late Dr. Jester Hairston, the Chorale will offer folk spirituals and gospel with accompaniment on djembe, brass quintet, keyboards, and percussion. Discover why the Chorale was honored with this year’s Los Angeles Treasure Award.

The accomplished Los Angeles-based women’s folk chorus Nevenka has been performing traditional songs from the Balkans and Eastern Europe for nearly three decades. Their repertoire includes songs from Bulgaria, Macedonia, Greece, Albania, Croatia, and from the Sephardic and Roma traditions, which they render with “exquisite harmonies and lilting rhythms that intoxicate” (Los Angeles Daily News) and “irresistible charm” (Los Angeles Times).
