Experience the Music You’ll Sing: "Psalm 57" by Betty Jackson King
At AfterGlow Chorus, we perform challenging, deeply moving a cappella and sacred repertoire that inspires both singers and audiences.
To give you a glimpse of what singing with us feels like, watch our newly released performance of "Psalm 57" by Betty Jackson King, recorded live during our April 2026 "Purple Reign" concert series in Oakland:
Composed by the renowned African American arranger and conductor Betty Jackson King (1928–1994), Psalm 57 demonstrates the rich harmonic colors and dynamic intensity our choir brings to life.
