“Words cannot adequately describe the magnitude of our gratitude and impact that you all had on us. The Gilead community will be forever changed because of your generosity, gifts, and melodious voices that are still echoing throughout our campus. Each song was appropriate and moved many of our colleagues to tears.”
— GLOBE (Gilead Leadership Organization of Black Employees) Team
Examples of past offerings:
A virtual concert hosted by Founding Artistic Director, Terrance Kelly, sharing the context of gospel music within the African American experience
A choral workshop where members build team skills through working in small groups within a vocal section, following a leader, and working together cross-functionally as different voice parts come together in harmony, bringing diverse individuals together for a collective purpose
A film screening of ONE VOICE: The Story of the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir accompanied by a facilitated discussion around cultural awareness & celebrating differences toward a common goal.
In addition to our award-winning artistic team, we’ve developed these offerings in partnership with experienced Executive Education consultants and faculty from leading area universities, such as UC Berkeley. Our facilitators bring decades of experience in Leadership, Team Building, Executive Education and more. We can customize coursework to meet CE requirements in Project Management, Leadership, and other related areas. Music is a universal language and creating it together exemplifies teamwork. Let us show you how
Comments from past participants and organizers
“I'm an instructor at Berkeley Adult School and I'm really impressed by what Terrance was able to do with us in just over an hour. I think of myself as a pretty good teacher, but that was really something to behold!”
“OMG I just logged in and woke up!! Not sure what I was expecting - but not this... it's amazing!!! this is just what I needed.”
“They aren’t just songs; they are the history of black culture that does not discriminate but sees the soul behind the color of your skin.”
“Bouncing into my next meeting after that - we're gonna make progress on some projects TODAY!!”
“This is so wonderful. on so many levels. Thank you for bringing this to us. No way not to have a great day (or week) after that. Thank you!”
