Ja Praise Chorale delivers
JAMAICA Praise Chorale (JPC), an inter-denominational gospel group, gave an awesome performance at the Holy Cross Church Carter Hall in Half-Way-Tree, St Andrew, recently.
The 32-member choir was accompanied by a full band of accomplished musicians who created that big band gospel sound with a horn section which resulted in a call for more and a standing ovation.
The songs performed were Hear Me When I Call, Magnify Your Word; and No Other Name.
Guest speaker for the evening, Michael Sean Harris, lecturer and assistant director at the School of Music at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, in congratulating the group, pointed to the myriad opportunities which exist for musicians and recording artistes to promote their work, due to the emergence of the Internet and vast programs in cyberspace.
Since its inception in 2013, the chorale has been spending hours in studio perfecting their unique sound and putting the finishing touches to their first EP album entitled Magnify Our Lord. The album will be available on January 1, 2015.
