Joyful Noise Gospel Celebration

4:00pm

Downtown Pensacola

A three-part gospel celebration, featuring New York’s Sing Harlem choir and celebrating the cultural impact of gospel music, is coming to Foo Foo Fest this fall! WSRE PBS will present the Joyful Noise! Gospel Celebration from Friday to Sunday, Nov. 8–10, with three distinct events in downtown Pensacola.

The main event will be a regional gospel music competition from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Pensacola High School auditorium. In addition to featured performances by Sing Harlem, Solomon Bozeman and the Sounds of the Gulf Coast, and the dance troupe Soulful Movement: Spirit of Excellence, local music groups and choirs will sing for top honors. Local groups are encouraged to sign up before Sept. 30 for an opportunity to sing and compete at the event.

Saturday’s event will be bookended by a private student workshop at Dixon School of Arts & Sciences on Friday, Nov. 8, and a Sunday gospel brunch on the lawn at Lily Hall on Nov. 10. Wear your Sunday best!
