“Celebrate Gospel” Rings in 10 Years of Magic and Enthusiasm at Disneyland Resort

Every year, gospel choirs come together at the Disneyland Resort for an event called “Celebrate Gospel!” This spirited event celebrated ten years and marked a wonderful celebration of Black History Month! The rich history of gospel music made for a great event with so much to learn from and appreciate.

The Amazing Grace Conservatory and Friendship Baptist Church are returning for the 10th year, alongside first-time performers, New Hope Gospel Choir, to expand participation within the local community. Stage 17 transforms into an epic stage for these gospel choirs to perform! Here were the choirs that took the stage this year:

We were lucky enough to grab an interview with Wendy Raquel Robinson from Amazing Grace Conservatory! We were thrilled to share the energy and excitement with her as she gave us an overview of her 10 years with “Celebrate Gospel”. For any Disney fans who might be trying to figure it out, yes you do recognize her! Robinson was the one and only Cruella de Vil in Disney’s “Descendants”!
