An exhilarating night of high-spirited music

Led by teaching artist J.D. Steele, the choir explores many genres of music, including jazz, gospel, pop and East African. Steele became part of the Minnesota music scene in the mid-1980s. He has written, produced, performed, and recorded with Prince, Donald Fagen, George Clinton Mavis Staples. He has performed on stages around the world.
