Return to Community: A Sunday Gospel Jazz Service

As the grand finale of Syracuse Jazz Fest in 2024, Hendricks Chapel at Syracuse University will host “Return to Community: A Sunday Gospel Jazz Service,” featuring a soon-to-be-announced collegiate choir, Black Celestial Choral Ensemble (BCCE) of Syracuse University, and a community choir composed of Syracuse-area residents, led by Cora Thomas.

This exciting program, which delighted nearly 700 patrons in 2023, will offer a dynamic and inclusive spiritual experience that fuses and celebrates Gospel and Jazz music, includes a pre-event welcome luncheon, and seeks to spark and sustain renewal in our local community and beyond. The program and luncheon are both free of charge and open to all.

No registration is necessary however, you may join the Facebook event to receive reminders.
