Opening Night

Featuring 
Joshua Nelson & Special Guests,

Grammy-nominated Joshua Nelson sings with a voice that recalls Mahalia Jackson, and counts Oprah Winfrey among his biggest fans. He has sung with Wynton Marsalis, Aretha Franklin and The Klezmatics. This extraordinary “Prince of Kosher Gospel” combines African-American spiritual styles with Jewish liturgical music. The renowned Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, directed by Terrance Kelly, opens the evening.

Co-sponsored with Forest Creatures Entertainment and Leonard Kurz 
in memory of Ursula Sherman
