The Twin Cities Community Gospel Choir gathers singers of various musical experience, ethnic backgrounds, and ages to celebrate music and spirituality through the rich tradition of African American religious music. Led by Robert Robinson and backed by a talented ensemble of musicians, the choir's spirit and harmonies invariably bring audiences to their feet in auditoriums, churches, schools, prisons, conferences, and festivals.
The annual Mother’s Day choir is especially important to Robinson; “My reason for doing the concert annually rests simply with the importance of recognizing family and friends in our lives, specifically the "special women in our lives" who have been there to love us, support us, guide us, and listen to us when we need to rant and rave.” He continued, “It's important to recognize these relationships and let people know how important their presence in our lives is and continues to be -- even for those who have passed on. I will always remember the talks I had with my grandmother. She passed away back in 1991, but I will always be grateful for her influence in my life. We plan on having a small segment of the program where the selections will be dedicated to "the special woman in our lives"”.
With songs ranging from inspirational spirituals to rocking contemporary gospel tunes, the choir strives to share the "Good News" of gospel music with diverse audiences, leaving them energized, hopeful, and filled with spirit.
