It’s officially concert week.
This Sunday, April 19, at 4:00 PM, the wait is over. AfterGlow Chorus takes the stage at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church for the premiere of Purple Reign.
If you’ve been looking for the perfect way to spend a spring afternoon in Oakland, this is it. Imagine a stroll around Lake Merritt followed by a soulful, high-energy tribute to the legacy of Prince, just as we approach the 10th anniversary of his passing.
A Program That Moves You
This isn't just a concert; it’s an emotional journey. We are blending the genius of Prince with the staggering power of traditional and contemporary choral music. You will experience:
The Hits Reimagined: Lush, "wall of sound" arrangements of “Purple Rain,” “7,” and “When Doves Cry.”
Soul-Stirring Gospel: The architectural beauty of Richard Smallwood’s “Total Praise.”
Powerful Spirituals: Vocal masterpieces that will have you ready to stand up and cheer.
See the Talent in Action
To give you a taste of the caliber of the choir, watch this performance of "Set Me As a Seal" filmed in the very space where we will be performing this weekend:
"The Energy is Infectious"
We’ve been hearing from fans all week, and one quote truly captures the vibe of this show:
"The music was so moving and the energy was so high that I found myself completely swept up in it. It’s rare to find a group that sounds this professional while still making the audience feel like they're part of one big celebration."
