The African Children’s Choir will perform at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, June 19, at the Sweet Home High School auditorium.
Their program will feature well-loved children’s songs, traditional spirituals and Gospel favorites.
The choir is organized by Music for Life, which works in seven African countries: Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa.
Many of the choir members have lost one or both parents to AIDS and other poverty-related diseases, and all of them are victims of extreme poverty.
The African Children’s Choir has performed before presidents, heads of state and, most recently, Queen Elizabeth II, for her diamond jubilee. It has also performed with artists ranging from Keith Urban, to Michael W. Smith.
Concerts are free and open to all. Donations will be accepted at the performance to support African Children’s Choir programs, such as education, care and relief and development programs.
The choir is being hosted locally by Hillside Fellowship.
