Press release from Count Basie Theatre
The African Children’s Choir melts the hearts of audiences with their charming smiles, beautiful voices and lively African songs and dances. The program features well-loved children’s songs, traditional spirituals and Gospel favorites — while the performances support a variety of education, care, relief and development programs.
On Tuesday evening, March 31, the Choir visits Red Bank for the first time, with a 7 pm concert at the Count Basie Theatre.
The international touring group has had the privilege to perform before presidents, heads of state and most recently Queen Elizabeth II, for her diamond jubilee celebration. The Choir has also had the honor of singing alongside artists such as Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, Michael W. Smith, and many others. Most recently, the Children’s Choir recorded some tracks with Sarah Hickman for the album Love Is a Journey. They will also have a small role in the upcoming movie Pan, starring Hugh Jackman.
Music for Life, the parent organization for The African Children’s Choir, works in seven African countries, including Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. MFL has educated over 52,000 children and impacted the lives of over 100,000 people through its relief and development programs — helping create new leadership for tomorrow’s Africa, by focusing on education.
Tickets for the March 31 concert in Red Bank ($10 – $25) can be reserved here.
