Cory Henry Bringing 'The Church Experience' Residency to New York City
The show & VIP dinner begin at 6:30 and the show begins at 7:30.
GRAMMY-winning artist Cory Henry will bring his critically acclaimed residency, The Church Experience, to New York City for the first time on July 12 after a year of consecutive sold-out performances at The Miracle Theater.
The residency is a direct extension of Henry’s 2025 GRAMMY-winning album Church, a project rooted in faith, family, and musical lineage growing up in the Brooklyn church. The evening begins with the option to enjoy a VIP soul food dinner before the music starts. The show & VIP dinner begin at 6:30 and the show begins at 7:30. Get tickets HERE.
Known for a roster of special guests that have included the likes of KevOnStage, Eric Gales, aja monet, Lalah Hathaway, Kim Burrell, and MonoNeon (and even Stevie Wonder in attendance), the NYC edition will also feature surprises. The NYC debut will feature 83-year old preacher Muvva Jeter, making her live performance debut in celebration of her debut album We're Having Good Church, which Henry produced and performed all the instruments entirely himself.
The series also features The Apostle Community Choir, a vocal ensemble that has grown to over 30 singers from all ages and backgrounds, many of whom maintain active careers as artists, producers, and musicians in their own right.
“I’ve always wanted to have a choir since I was a kid,” Henry reflects. “This is an add-on to all of these Church Experiences we’ve been doing. I realized one of the biggest parts of gospel music and soul music is choirs — and choirs build fellowship. We’re joining together to build fellowship amongst musicians and amongst the people.”
