Mystic Gospel 2020: RAISE THE PRAISE

Led by Jonathan Singleton

The Mystic Chorale continues its 30th anniversary celebration with a sizzling Gospel concert, MYSTIC CHORALE: RAISE THE PRAISE, with special guest artist Athene Wilson.  The 250-voice chorale led by director Jonathan Singleton will present two joyful and spirit-filled concerts celebrating the chorale’s annual tradition of devoting an entire season to gospel music.  The concerts will include a diverse mix of spirituals, traditional and contemporary gospel classics, and some hand-clapping favorites — all united by themes of love and hope.

Special guest artist Athene Wilson is an award-winning jazz, gospel and R&B vocalist. Her singing career began at the tender age of seven in a small Pentecostal church in Jamaica, where she sang in several church choirs until her transition to Boston where she started her professional singing career.  Athene has toured nationally and internationally to great acclaim, and has accompanied Patti LaBelle, Natalie Cole, Smokey Robinson and James Taylor as a background singer.   As our special 30th anniversary guest soloist, Athene Wilson is sure to lift Mystic Gospel to new heights!
