CALLING ALL NABJ VOICES!
NABJ is looking for talented singers to participate in the revival of our NABJ Choir. Audition information is below!
The choir will perform during our Gospel Brunch at the NABJ Convention this summer in Chicago on Aug. 4. The Gospel Brunch will be hosted by Emmy award-winning journalist Jacque Reid. Pastor A.R. Bernard will bring a motivational message. Our special guest gospel DJ will be Chicago’s own DJ CANVAS.
The director of the NABJ Gospel Choir is Darwin Hobbs, the Billboard Gospel chart-topping gospel singer, director and Stellar Award winner. Mr. Hobbs will lead the selection process for our choir voices. There will be two onsite rehearsals for those selected for the choir. Choir members will receive free access to the Brunch.
The Brunch will also include:
- An appearance from a surprise guest.
- A performance from a legendary, chart-topping gospel vocalist that we will announce in the coming weeks.
You must be already registered or plan to register for the convention to participate.
The deadline to have your registration documented in order to be approved to perform is May 15, 2024. This allows time for rehearsal scheduling and planning. (Note: Discounted registration for Convention ends June 1. Convention Registration info is available here.)
You will be part of a fabulous reboot of the NABJ Gospel Brunch. You will join top gospel and entertainment talent, and fellow journalists and communicators as we close out our convention with a celebration of hope and inspiration.
