Freedom Road, The Inspiring Story of Gospel

Freedom Road: The Inspiring Story of Gospel Music was originally staged in 2011 with the Boite Millennium Chorus at Melbourne Town Hall. The concert celebrates the songs of slavery, music that has been the source of hope and inspiration for generations of people.

Join us to discover gospel music’s rich beginnings in Africa and its journey from plantation work songs, to church and onto the Civil Rights movement. Featuring songs by Quincy Jones, The Caravans and The Blind Boys of Alabama, Freedom Road will dive deep into this genre and celebrate its profound influence on modern-day music, culture and politics.

This wonderful community choir of over 150 singers will be directed by Stella Savy and a fabulous group of local artists in concert at The Ulumbarra Theatre in Bendigo on Sunday 8th May 2022 at 2.30pm. Supporting artists include, Dani Fry, Geoffrey Williams, Deb Clark, Carl Pannuzzo, Tim Neal, Geoffrey Williams, Barry Deenick with narration by Barry Kay.

It will be music to lift the human spirit!
