Opening Night
Featuring Joshua Nelson & Special Guests, Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir
Grammy-nominated Joshua Nelson sings with a voice that recalls Mahalia Jackson, and counts Oprah Winfrey among his biggest fans. He has sung with Wynton Marsalis, Aretha Franklin and The Klezmatics. This extraordinary “Prince of Kosher Gospel” combines African-American spiritual styles with Jewish liturgical music. The renowned Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, directed by Terrance Kelly, opens the evening.
