Originally founded in 1973 with only eight members, the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is today one of the most respected choirs in America with six GRAMMY Awards, nine Dove Awards and over four million in album sales to their credit. The 300-voice Gospel choir was born out of the historic Brooklyn Tabernacle in downtown Brooklyn, NY. The Choir, like the church, is a blend of ethnic and economic backgrounds. The ensemble is comprised of passionate and often musically-untrained church members ranging from lawyers and doctors to ex-crack addicts. Additional information regarding the life-changing ministry of the Brooklyn Tabernacle and Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is available at www.brooklyntabernacle.org.
