PRESHOW CONVERSATION: Gospel Trends versus Tradition
Sunday, June 20 at 5 p.m.
Knight Concert Hall – Peacock Education Center

Join us for this moderated preshow conversation with Dr. Tammy Kernodle and Dr. Veryl Howard exploring the evolution of the gospel sound. Framing gospel as a mainstay in music, this conversation looks at how the art form continues to transform. By revisiting key moments and places when accompaniment evolved from the traditional Hammond organ to sophisticated symphony orchestras and where singing styles turned mass choirs into praise teams, this robust discussion will take audience members on a journey that examines how gospel music has transformed over the years.
