The Legendary Ingramettes at Hylton Performing Arts Center

Celebrate the holiday season with one of Virginia’s premier gospel ensembles, The Legendary
Ingramettes, as they sing their family favorites at the Hylton Center. Richmond’s “first family of
gospel,” was formed six decades ago by “Mama” Maggie Ingram, who found inspiration in
Black gospel male quartets of the 1940s and 50s. With her harmonizing singers, Ingram broke
new ground with her female-driven quartet. Now led by Ingram’s daughter Reverend Almeta
Ingram-Miller, granddaughter Cheryl Maroney Yancey, daughter-in-law Carrie Jackson, and
goddaughter Valerie Stewart, The Legendary Ingramettes bring a concert of soulful song
sprinkled with uplifting Christmas music. With the spirit of a Sunday morning service, The
Legendary Ingramettes have inspired audiences into a gospel fervor whether they are performing
at the Kennedy Center or National Folk Festival. You won’t want to miss “one of America's
most celebrated gospel groups” (NPR), The Legendary Ingramettes. As an Artist-in-Residence,
the artists will also work with the community through classes and workshops surrounding the
performance.
