Now in its third season, MCP&#39;s CrosSING Bridges initiative returns in the form of a participatory singing workshop. This workshop, exploring the roots and stories of Gospel Music, will be led by Dr. Herbert V.R.P. Jones, founder and director of the Heritage Gospel Chorale of Pittsburgh. All are welcome to join us for this choral workshop to celebrate the joy of singing in community. Gospel music was born out of the experience of formerly enslaved Black Americans and provided the foundations for blues, jazz, soul, rock, hip-hop, and nearly every other popular music genre. As one of the nation&#39;s foremost experts on Gospel music, Dr. Jones will guide attendees in learning about the history and significance of this fundamental genre through group singing and conversation. No prior experience with Gospel music is required &ndash; just come with an open mind and a willingness to delve into this rich American tradition. This event is free to attend with a suggested donation of $20.00. Registration is required.
