Dedicated Men of Zion & Knoxville Opera Gospel Choir

Rooted in the soaring traditions of gospel, soul, and sacred song, the union of Dedicated Men of Zion and the Knoxville Opera Gospel Choir promises a performance of pure spiritual elevation. Hailing from Eastern North Carolina, the Dedicated Men of Zion bring a fervent, harmony-rich sound steeped in the sacred quartet tradition—testifying voices that channel the raw power of faith, struggle, and redemption. The Knoxville Opera Gospel Choir, a dynamic ensemble known for its electrifying performances and deep connection to the city’s musical heritage, adds a lush, full-bodied choral energy to the mix.

Together, these two forces unite in a powerful collaboration that merges the intimate, testifying spirit of quartet gospel with the expansive, soul-stirring grandeur of a mass choir. Expect a performance filled with deep grooves, impassioned call-and-response, and an unwavering devotion to the joyful, redemptive spirit of gospel music. This special Sunday performance will be presented free and open to the public.  Reserve your free ticket HERE and be part of this unforgettable performance!
