The Gwen Wyatt Chorale is a multi-generational, multi-ethnic choral group who has performed at the Mormon Tabernacle, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and in the projects of South Central. Singing uplifting African American folk spirituals in the time-honored traditional way, the Chorale raise their voices in a cappella song, with choreographed movement to enhance the storytelling aspect of the music.
The Yuval Ron Ensemble unites the sacred musical traditions of Judaism, Sufism (Islamic mystical tradition) and the Christian Armenian Church into an unusual musical celebration. Bringing together artists from Arabic, Jewish and Christian ancestry the Yuval Ron Ensemble is dedicated to fostering an understanding of Middle Eastern cultures and religions.
