New Community Gospel Choir 

The Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, a performing arts organization, is launching a new community choir in Southern California and is inviting local singers to participate. OIGC invites singers and music lovers to Voices United, an afternoon workshop followed by an evening concert. By the end of the workshop, participants will have learned two songs, which they will perform that evening at the 7 p.m. gospel concert as the opening act for the OIGC Ensemble. The workshop is designed for all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned performers. For more details and to register, visit www.oigc.org/voicesunited. The concert is free, and workshop tickets range from $20 to $40.
