Rooted in the soaring traditions of gospel, soul, and sacred song, the union of Dedicated Men of Zion and the Knoxville Opera Gospel Choir promises a performance of pure spiritual elevation. Hailing from Eastern North Carolina, the Dedicated Men of Zion bring a fervent, harmony-rich sound steeped in the sacred quartet tradition—testifying voices that channel the raw power of faith, struggle, and redemption. The Knoxville Opera Gospel Choir, a dynamic ensemble known for its electrifying performances and deep connection to the city’s musical heritage, adds a lush, full-bodied choral energy to the mix.

Together, these two forces unite in a powerful collaboration that merges the intimate, testifying spirit of quartet gospel with the expansive, soul-stirring grandeur of a mass choir. Expect a performance filled with deep grooves, impassioned call-and-response, and an unwavering devotion to the joyful, redemptive spirit of gospel music.

This special Sunday performance will be presented free and open to the public.
