“The Evolution of Gospel Music” is one show I will never forget; I was entertained, I was informed and most of all I was moved! The vocal performances were incredible, the production spectacular and one could not have asked for a better band. This powerful drama takes you on a journey of the black experience in North America via the soundtrack of their lives. From the Spirituals birthed in the suffering of the plantation slaves to today’s chart topping hits each era of Gospel Music is explored exposing one to the challenges and victories of the times. The ear is treated to a wonderfully diverse palette of sounds and styles while the heart is stirred by the courage and dignity of the people who in the midst of oppression gave us a gift of music that sets the soul free! Don’t miss the opportunity to experience “The Evolution of Gospel Music” your body will move with the rhythm and your heart will cry out with the conviction …”thank God Almighty I’m free at last!”

Such a great production, was just too short, I was just getting into it. All in all, my soul was refreshed, I was tremendously blessed.

I must say well informative info thanks Jim, and i pray God will continue to bless them has they blesses us with their God given talents. Thanks to The Evolution of Gospel Music I am looking forward to many more.
Attended the Friday presentation. It was more than I expected. The music was awesome and brought back memories of music I have heard in the past. TMC was awesome as usual and getting better with every performance. I felt like I had gone to church not a performance. God was definitely in the place. I received answer to a prayer I have been praying for the last couple of weeks and I thank God for this,where He can reach out and touch you in your time of need. Keep up the excellent work TMC…you are truly making a difference
