Honoring artists who channel faith through music, Glory to Glory celebrates women shaping Black praise in contemporary spiritual and devotional sounds. Gospel icon Twinkie Clark - hailed as the Mother of Contemporary Gospel and the Queen of the B3 Hammond Organ - takes center stage alongside The Clark Sisters in a tribute to her unmatched artistry.
The evening also pays tribute to Mary Lou Williams, a jazz luminary whose spiritual choral works continue to resonate with the brilliance that once guided legends like Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, and Miles Davis. After a three-year hiatus and a profound spiritual awakening, Williams returned to music with “Black Christ of the Andes,” blending sacred song with a modern vision of devotion.
Under the direction of Malcolm J. Merriweather of the New York Philharmonic, a choir will bring Williams’s revered works to life, while concert pianist Artina McCain offers a stirring recital of spiritual piano compositions. Bridging Williams’s legacy to contemporary gospel ministry, saxophonist and psalmist Angélla Christie - whose music has graced 138 countries - will testify through the sacred voice of her saxophone.
“Glory to Glory” is an evening of faith and artistry, honoring the profound devotion found in sound.
