Conceived, adapted and directed by MacArthur Genius Grant winner Lee Breuer, with music composed, arranged and directed by Academy Award nominee Bob Telson, THE GOSPEL AT COLONUS is a one-of-a-kind show featuring more than 40 powerhouse voices including gospel legends the Blind Boys of Alabama and the Original Soul Stirrers.
