The Harlem Japanese Gospel Choir, winner of the 2010 Best Choir Award at the McDonald's Gospel Fest, will make special guest appearances in Alfred Preisser and Tracy Jack's BLACK NATIVITY NOW on Saturday December 4th, 11th and 18th at 7pm!
BLACK NATIVITY NOW will be performed December 3, 2010 - January 2, 2011 Off-Broadway at the Theatre at St. Clement's, 423 West 46th Street in New York City.
BLACK NATIVITY NOW is a holiday gospel pageant for our time and for all people, with an original score and musical direction by
Kelvyn Bell, choreography by
Tracy Jack and direction by
Alfred Preisser. Set inside a fabulous show-biz church in the midst of the famed and scabrous landscape of Times Square, BLACK NATIVITY NOW tells the story of the birth of Christ. This setting provides a colorful world of seekers, hustlers, and lost souls, providing the perfect jump off for an evening of exuberant music and dance that celebrates humanity's need for hope and grace.
Presided over by a pastor heavily influenced by the likes of
JAmes Brown and supported by a choir of singers and dancers who perform musical sets infused with gospel, pop, funk, and soul, BLACK NATIVITY NOW is the universal journey of our search for salvation and "peace on earth."
The Harlem Japanese Gospel Choir was established by producer Tommy Tomita in 1997 and has performed throughout New York City under the direction of Minister Melody Moore. In addition to winning the Best Choir Award at the 2010 McDonald's Gospel Fest, the choir has been recently featured on NBC Sunday Morning Show, CBS Saturday Morning, the New York Times, Daily News and Japanese media.
