01 Mar Harlem Gospel Choir in person at Telluride’s Palm Theatre, 3/2

Thanks to the generous support of part-time locals Linda and Peter Bynoe, the world renowned Harlem Gospel Choir appears in concert at Telluride’s Palm Theatre on Tuesday, March 2, 6:30 p.m.

The Choir, one of the most famous in America today, was founded in 1986 by Allen Bailey, who had his epiphany while attending a celebration in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Cotton Club in Harlem. The Choir, which features some of the finest musicians and singers from Harlem, New York’s black churches and the New York tri-state area, raises funds for childrens’ charities.

Since 1990, the Harlem Gospel Choir has performed for Nelson Mandela at Yankee Stadium, for Pope John Paul II in Central Park, for Pope Benedict XVI at Yankee Stadium, New York, with Jimmy Cliff at Riverside Church, New York, with Whoopi Goldberg, Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover, Lyle Lovett, Isaac Hayes, and more.

Pope John’s hallelujah review sums up: “It’s more than a show, it’s a feeling.”
