The United Voices of Metropolitan will share the rich stories and traditions of our global church community accompanied by a string quintet, our great organ, and our own MET Live Band. This year we will welcome back sopranos Angeli Ferrette and Victoria Purcell Coan. Our featured artists will be The Ellington Carthan Trio, headliner at Blues Alley and led by Strathmore Artist-in-Residence alumnus, Ellington Carthan.
The Messiah Comes tells the Christ’s coming and will feature works from Handel’s Messiah and Quincy Jones’ Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration. This concert will guide us on a journey of spirituals, anthems, gospel, and soul music. We will share the story of great anticipation and faith through the canon of music specific to the Black church tradition.
