Gospel Voices of OC Juneteenth Celebration Returns to Chapman's Musco Center for the Arts

Gospel Voices of OC, an artistic concert in conjunction with Juneteenth, will be held for the second year at Musco Center for the Arts at Chapman University on Sunday, June 10. Produced by Arts & Learning Conservancy's Founder/CEO Debora Wondercheck, the multi-generational performances of diverse artists highlight the influence of gospel music as a source of historical impact and resiliency spanning June 19, 1865 to the present.

"I'm incredibly proud to produce our second Gospel Voices of OC and eternally grateful to Chapman University for their tremendous support in providing the world-class venue for our artistic celebration of Juneteenth," says Debora Wondercheck

Co-sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Chapman University, the concert will feature accomplishments and works of over 100 black and diverse performers in choir, dance, band, orchestra, theatre and spoken word, including county-wide youth and adult choirs. Renown American soul singer and song writer Brenda Lee Eager is a featured performer.

Dr. Reginald "Reg" Chhen Stewart, Ph.D. Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Chapman University said, "Black stories must be told. Our narratives have always been handed down through song and I'm so proud to bring the vibrancy and diversity of the black experience to our little corner of the world."
