Description

Join us for the launch of a new monthly program series, Sacred Music Sunday Fellowship. These performance and lecture programs examine the historical sources of contemporary forms of religious and sacred music throughout the African Diaspora.

Evolution of the Gospel Sound is a concert and conversation about the music traditions of the African Americans, its origins, movement, transformations and adaptations that have become the spirituals, Blues, Gospel and Jazz that is enjoyed in almost every country and is recognized as a gift from the African Americans to the world community.



Enjoy the soulful sultry sounds of one of the Bay Area’s favorite vocalist, Linda Ricketts. With roots deep in the music of the African American tradition, Linda’s unique blend of gospel, spirituals, jazz and blues is the perfect compliment to her rich contralto voice. No stranger to the stage or the studio, Linda has performed with such greats as the late Ed Kelly, Robert Stewart, Ricardo Scales, Willis Kirk, Bill Bell, John Turk, Jackie Hairston, and was a featured artist at San Rafael’s Throckmorton Theatre. She has graced the stage in a variety of venues here and abroad, and continues to delight audiences with her bottom-rich vocal artistry.
