The world’s most critically acclaimed choir returns to the Barclay

“It’s impossible to spend an hour with them and not leave with a big smile on your face” - In Daily

Spreading joy to audiences across the globe for nearly two decades, Soweto Gospel Choir has performed to standing ovations and sold-out houses throughout the world.

With rich vocal textures and driving rhythms, these charismatic performers celebrate the spirit of South Africa and the United States in HOPE, an inspiring concert of freedom songs that inspired the Rainbow Nation and heartfelt renditions of the music of the civil rights movement featuring works by legendary artists including Billy Holiday, James Brown, Otis Redding, and the one and only, Aretha Franklin.
