30th Anniversary Celebration
“Carnegie Hall is one of the most historic music venues in the world. We are excited for our students to have the unique opportunity to not only sing at Carnegie Hall, but also to share the stage with remarkable musicians such as David Hamilton and Travis Cottrell.” says Collin Clardy, director of Voices of Mobile.
Saviour is described as a musical journey through the Bible from creation to resurrection, focusing on God’s pursuit and redemption of man. As a modern oratorio, “Saviour” utilizes the classical setting of a choir, orchestra, and soloists to tell this powerful story of the gospel.
