The countdown to April is on. As we enter the final weeks of preparation for our 10th-anniversary tribute to Prince, the energy in our rehearsals is palpable. This isn't just another concert series; it is a landmark musical event for the East Bay.
If you haven’t experienced AfterGlow Chorus live at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Oakland, we invite you to watch our performance of "I Need Thee Every Hour" below. This video captures the level of precision, heart, and vocal excellence we bring to the stage—the same excellence we are currently applying to the iconic hits of Prince.
Why "Purple Reign" is the Event of the Season
This program was specifically designed to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Prince's legacy by exploring the genres that fueled his genius. When you join us at Lake Merritt this April, you’ll experience:
The Prince 10th-Anniversary Tribute: Sophisticated, reimagined choral arrangements of hits like “7,” “When Doves Cry,” and “Purple Rain.”
The Power of Richard Smallwood: We are proud to feature “Total Praise,” a cornerstone of American music that sounds magnificent in the vaulted acoustics of St. Paul’s.
High-Octane Choral Mastery: Rhythmic and soulful works by Moses Hogan and Duke Ellington that showcase the full range of our chamber ensemble.
Two Performances Only – Tickets Moving Fast
As a premier vocal ensemble in the SF Bay Area, our April dates often see a surge in ticket sales as the events approach. We recommend securing your seats now to ensure you don’t miss this unique cultural moment in Oakland.
