In March, I had the pleasure of attending a concertfeaturing The Boys Choir of Harlem. The live performance was held at SymphonyHall in Boston, Massachusetts.
My rapid impression as thechoir walked onto the stage was, Hey, these aren’t boys! There wereseveral older wanting gents, even one with a bald head, which waspuzzling to me. Then the boys got here on stage. Later, the directorexplained that the boys helped sing the baritone half, which few boys cansing.
The choir was extraordinarily skilled in how they appeared andcarried themselves. From their maturity on stage, you might see theiroverwhelming expertise.
They began the live performance with classicalpieces by Bach and Haydn. The solo voices have been clear and true, whereas theunited voices of the choir took me away. I discovered myself sitting again,closing my eyes and listening to the sound.
The second half ofthe live performance was extra trendy, upbeat and showy. The choir began with aBroadway and jazz medley, together with “One” and “Take the ATrain,” they usually carried out a choreographed dance with striped vestsand high hats.
The temper then modified to rap and hip-hop beats. Thesingers wore colourful shirts, and invited you to spend a day “Up inHarlem.” Their ultimate choices consisted of gospelmusic.
This live performance gave me the chance to experiencesomething that not many individuals get an opportunity to come across. The Boys Choirof Harlem is a superb illustration of not solely African-Individuals,but in addition of the US. These boys are world-renowned and aretruly an inspiration to us all.
