The members of Columbia's gospel choir sing their way around campus, hoping to spread joy to members of the community. On Saturday, the choir topped off the year with a final performance in Lerner Party Space.

The president of the choir, Asia Camp, CC'11 said "We're a Columbia and Barnard University gospel choir. We sing around the campus whenever anyone is needed. We try to spread our ministry through as many sources as possible."

The music director, Sasha Thompson,CC'09, said "I thought the performance was amazing. Gospel choir did a really good job. We did not expect this many people. We're just so thankful to the Columbia University community and to the friends of the members of the choir who came out tonight."

Columbia gospel choir may not be particularly well known on campus, but the performers put on quite the show - including group songs, solo selections and individual piano pieces.

Jasmine Senior, CC'12, said "It was awesome. It was such a blessing. All of the solos were great, the performance was amazing, the song choices were great...I had a wonderful time, and now I'm filled with such joy."

Terrell Winder, CC'11, said "When I came to Columbia, that was one of the most important things for me to have a place where I can sing and express myself in a gospel choir, so I really enjoy being a part of it. It's amazing for me."

The spring concert is not the end of CU Gospel choir. Next year they plan to expand their organization and to provide more opportunities to perform throughout the community.
