The All God’s Children Community Choir will perform at 4 p.m.  Sunday, Sept. 24. at the First Presbyterian Church, 115 W. Front St., in Buchanan. The goal of the concert is to help break down barriers in the community.

The All God’s Children Community Choir is a spirited group of talented and enthusiastic children and teens, ages 4 to 18, drawn from many different communities in southwest Michigan. Led by a diverse team of directors, the choir is now in its 18th year and continues to seek to inspire audiences with its messages of brotherhood and sisterhood, unity, peace and respect for all people.

Since the choir’s initial performance at the Race Relations Council Awards Program in 2001, All God’s Children has performed on more than 150 occasions. These special events have included performances at Lake Michigan College and Andrews University to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; a special Habitat for Humanity performance for former President Jimmy Carter; concerts in Grand Rapids and Traverse City for state and national teachers’ conferences; joint appearances with the Chicago Children’s Choir in Michigan and Chicago; a Holiday Traditions concert with the Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra and Metropolitan Opera Star Angela Brown; a featured performance at Navy Pier in Chicago on Martin Luther King Day; multiple Artsbridge concerts; and performances with Tom Chapin, Josh White, Jr., Gemini, the Senegal Gospel Choir, Peter Yarrow, Ben Vereen, and Pamela Chappell, with whom All God’s Children recorded an award-winning CD.

In 2013, the choir released its own CD, titled “All God’s Children.” In 2016, the Teen Ensemble of the All God’s Children Choir released an exciting CD of its own.

In 2015, an All God’s Children Community Choir Scholarship Fund was established by an anonymous donor with a strong belief in the mission of the choir. To date, five graduating choir members have received scholarships of $2,500 a year for four years.

The All God’s Children Community Choir is led by Sandy and Larry Feldman, Hursel Cole, Corey Hampton, and Kortney Moore. For additional information contact Sandy and Larry Feldman at (269) 469-0539, or online at sandyandlarryfeldman@hotmail.com
