Led by Director Gwen Moten and Music Director Dr. B. Dexter Allgood, the Count Basie Center Gospel Choir will present an evening of songs to embody the spirit of Thanksgiving. Secular music, praise hymns and classics will create an inspiring setlist certain to spark a community of giving and showcase the Choir’s collection of exhilarating and empowering voices.
The Count Basie Center Gospel Choir is headed by Music Director Gwen Moten and assistant music director Dr. B Dexter Allgood, designed as a community initiative open to interested performers in New Jersey and surrounding areas. Moten, whose resume includes international presentations and appointments in Newark, the United Nations, the White House and elsewhere, believes the Basie Center Gospel Choir will be an engaging cultural and artistic offering, designed to develop a holistic and cultural ecology throughout the Basie Center community and beyond.
