The Harlem Gospel Choir, the most famous gospel choir in America and one of the preeminent gospel choirs worldwide, brings the music of Harlem and the black church to Times Square in a joyous celebration of high-energy, hand-clapping singing and dancing. Made up of the finest singers and musicians from Harlem's black churches and the New York/Tri-State area, the choir strives to create a better understanding of African-American culture and make the world a more loving and peaceful place. Allen Bailey was inspired to create the choir in 1986 after attending a celebration at Harlem's Cotton Club in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That inspiration can be felt in the music today, as the choir's uplifting songs of hope touch the soul and raise the spirit.

Harlem Gospel choir was wonderful and very professional. Audience participation was encouraged which was a lot of fun. Our seating was
very good but you have to get there early for the better seats.Sound was somewhat loud at times but
one gets used to it. Look for Icon parking coupons
which help save some money. Also, there is a cover
charge of $10 per person which one needs to consider.
