This years’ concert theme is “I Will Rise,” with event organizers aiming for it to convey “a clear gospel message” for concertgoers to “come and be lifted up,” event organizers say.

David Isaac Rivers will begin to elevate the night’s spirits with his original Americana folk worship music.

The singers will then perform crowd-proven favorites such as “I am Persuaded” and “How Great Thou Art,” and a string quartet will join the singers on three numbers.

Songs sung in Spanish and Nigerian, will also be featured.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, the singers will tip their tams with a performance of “O Danny Boy.”

The featured guest from the 2017 Christmas concert, Ava Peterson, will join the gospel singers again to perform “You Raise Me Up.”

According to a news release: “These beautiful songs can remind us of the promises of God, of who God is, and who we are because of God’s promises.”
