SUMMARY:Ebenezer Baptist Choirs & Joshua Allen Performance
DESCRIPTION:In a repeat of last year’s enthusiastic reception\, join us at the Cobbs Creek Arts Center\,  61 Cobbs Creek Lane\,  Sunday afternoon\,  to hear the wonderful voices of the Men’s Chorus and the Women’s Chorus of our local Ebenezer Baptist Church.  \nThe groups’ most recent performance was before an appreciative audience at a Christmas sing-along at Mathews Central United Methodist Church. The men’s chorus has been in existence for over 25 years and is well known throughout the area. \n*Also on the agenda is a concert performance by renowned artist\, Joshua Allen\, of Richmond\, a classically trained vocalist\, who will sing as well as perform sacred and secular songs on his handmade instruments. He learned traditional hymns while trailing a plow and mule with his father and grandfather\, on a North Carolina plantation. He will tell the story of his instruments\, such as the African ox horn flute\, made from animals used on farms. Mr. Allen\, a former Marine and a former Mr. Virginia\, will share his deep and resounding voice with us as he tells the story of his musical journey. We invite you to enjoy the afternoon at the Arts Center. There is no charge for this event and reservations are not necessary.
