Clapping on Two and Four

Clapping on Two and Four

After a year hiatus while Music Director Angela Clemmons was on tour with The Rascals, Shoreline Soul Gospel Choir returns this Sunday as part of the Music at the Meetinghouse series in the First Congregational Church, Madison.  The free concert begins at 3pm though early arrival for seating is strongly recommended.  Twice yearly Anglea puts a call out to singers far and wide to participate in a five-week Gospel singing workshop.  Whether it was a result of the year off or perhaps a sign of the times and the need for something uplifting registration topped out at 125 singers this season.  Sopranos, altos, tenors and basses came together and in five weeks mastered the pieces scheduled for this Sunday's performance.  Several members of the chorus as well as special guests will perform the solos with chorus back-up.  Shoreline Sould will be accompanied by a three-piece band.

Part of every Shoreline Soul concert includes an audience participation segment where Angela teaches a song (or two).  By the end of intermission all are on their feet and clapping in time to the music. (Clapping on two and four in Gospel).

Don't miss this uplifting, spiritual and fun Sunday afternoon event.  You are guaranteed that you will walk out feeling better than when you walked in.  Hallelujah!
