UPCOMING EVENTS

  • Gospel Music Workshop

    Sing with the Universal Gospel Choir!

    Back by popular demand! Join us for the Universal Gospel Choir’s annual Gospel Music Workshop — a joyful, high-energy celebration of gospel music! We are honoured to feature again this year the incomparable Karen Burke, founder and Artistic Director of the Juno award winning Toronto Mass Choir.

    Whether you’re a seasoned singer or just love to lift your voice, this immersive workshop is your chance to experience the power of gospel in community. Under Karen’s inspiring direction, you’ll learn exciting gospel arrangements and dynamic harmonies alongside the Universal Gospel Choir, and then take the stage the following evening to perform with UGC in an unforgettable concert!

    This event sold out last year, and for good reason: the energy, learning, and joy are off the charts. Don’t miss your chance to be part of it!
