The internationally known African Children’s Choir will perform Friday, May 21, at Harvest Community Church in Concord.
Admission is free, but entry is first-come, first-served. The church holds about 400.
The choir hosts music camps for children, usually ages 7-11, across Africa. From those camps, leaders select children to join a traveling choir that tours North America. The group appearing in Concord is made up of 23 children from Uganda and Kenya.
The program, which began in 1984, has reached out to children in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, southern Sudan and South Africa.
Admission is free, but entry is first-come, first-served. The church holds about 400.
Matt Turbedsky, the church’s youth and worship pastor who helped organize the choir’s performance, said the church hopes that people who attend will support the organization’s ministry.
“It’s more than music,” Turbedsky said. “It’s more than just singing and performing. They’re saving kids’ lives.”
