ITHACA, NY — Some 250 young gospel singers from high schools in Maryland, Florida and New York will join forces on Saturday, April 17, for the fifth annual Ithaca College Gospel Invitational Music Festival. Free and open to the public, the event will begin at 8:15 p.m. in Ford Hall in the James J. Whalen Center for Music.
The two-day festival will be directed by Baruch Whitehead and Janet Galván from Ithaca College and guest clinician Anthony Leach, and will feature guest soloists from the Essence of Joy Singers at Penn State University. The Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra will collaborate on this concert.
“Sponsored by the School of Music, this event will give deserving underrepresented students a rare opportunity to be taught by and work with luminaries of gospel music while taking part in gospel music’s rich heritage,” said Baruch Whitehead, associate professor of music education and organizer of the event.
“The singers participating in this concert were highly recommended by their teachers,” Whitehead said. “They come from areas where they don’t have opportunities to perform in select groups, let alone work with acclaimed clinicians and teachers. This will be a wonderful experience for everyone involved.”
