About this Event

Newman Congregational Church, UCC is pleased to present The Content of Our Character: A Choral Concert in Honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This concert will be performed by both the choir of Newman Church (Geoffrey Greene, Music Minister) and RPM Voices of Rhode Island (Frances-Elayne Johnson, Artistic Director). Featured performers include Delbert Collins, bass, conductor, and accompanist; Rev. Lauri Smalls, alto; Becky Bass, soprano and conductor; Barbara Youmans, alto; Neil Letendre, tenor; and Jonne Gomes, bass.


This concert will be the first collaboration between our two choirs and we hope there are many more to follow! Program selections are varied and include modern settings, traditional spirituals, and New Orleans infused rhythms. The combined choirs will number almost 50 singers who will sing a cappella in addition to being accompanied by piano, organ, and a fantastic gospel band!


The choral concert will be followed immediately by our Birthday Bash in Honor of Dr. King! This is free and open to the public and will take place in the church’s Memorial Hall. There will be dancing, food, and fun for all!
