The evening celebrates more than 28 years of programming and will feature choral performances by Highbridge Voices students alongside two distinguished guest artists. Acclaimed organist Dr. Nathaniel Gumbs, a Bronx native, Director of Music at The Riverside Church, will perform. GRAMMY Award-winning soprano Brittany Renee, who has appeared at the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, and Houston Grand Opera, will serve as both featured artist and co-emcee.
