95th Annual Morehouse - Spelman Christmas Carol Concert - December 15, 2021 

68 years of plying the organ. I remember her when I was a student in 1998! Wow.

I was a Clark College music Major in 1958 and Dr. Johnson was my Counterpoint Class instructor at Spelman. I’ve watched her through the years and I’m still blown away by her endurance, talent and professionalism.

Congratulations to Spelman and Morehouse College 95 years of great tradition and glorious music. Wishing you 94 more plus years of wonderful great music

Bravo! Brava! Simply Beautiful!!! So many colleges are moving away from the choral music repertoire. Thank you for keeping this tradition going and for blessing my soul tonight. What great directors and the organist!!! Brava! Bravo!!!

My first time discovering this amazing Christmas Concert; it shall be my staple. Beautiful and handsome young African Americans talents,I am blessed and humbled to witness such wonderful performance. May God continue to raise you up . Amen 🙏 🎄🤶🏽

We Are Christmas! Wow, that one got me.

Absolutely beautiful watching my great niece Avery and all of the young women & men perform. Excellent! God Bless them all

To sit in front of the fire and listen to these heavenly voices proclaim God's wonders at this dear and precious time of year is truly a blessed gift. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

This is so refreshing and phenomenol. Impressive discipline and poise . Blessings to the organist, soloists, directors and musicians

Lovely melodious voices, may Almighty God continue to bless them all.

God! She played that organ: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".

What an amazing concert! I’ve been a choral conductor for over 40 years, and I must tell you how much this concert stands out. It is simply incredible. I’ll be watching for more from you! Thank you for sharing and making this Christmas musically memorable! Blessings!

I have shared this performance widely with my male and female colleagues on the African continent, as we share this gift of choral singing.

The sophistication of this Christmas concert is breathtaking! The ladies of Spelman performed a beautiful rendition of All Men Draw Near. Harmony while whistling? A surprising first that made me smile. The Morehouse men's performance of Bethelehema was amazing!! I was working on a Christmas project but found myself moving to the rhythms along with the chorus. WOW! The organist makes this performance so regal! Thank you for bringing this performance to RU-vid...much appreciated!!

In a word - "WOW". To quote my wife, who is an accomplished choral singer, "This is a concert I will never forget." Thank you, and looking forward to next year's performance.

Simply beautiful 🌹. So grateful to be able to listen to these gifted individuals. Praise God 🤣

VOCALS HARMONIES absolutely magical....the legendary concert performed in a Pandemic My SPELMAN SISTER'S and Morehouse BROTHERS BRAVO ⭐⭐⭐🎉

Dr. Johnson is simply fabulous! And, thank you choirs, directors and presidents for this magnificent program.❤🎶 Merry Christmas to all, and may God always bless you!😷🕊

Thank you for sharing your concert. It was wonderful on a day I felt tired both physically and spiritually. Your students are incredibly gifted, and the music choices were inspiring.

What a Magnificent program! I am now officially in the Spirit for the Holidays. Thank you, Dr. David Morrow, and Dr Kevin Johnson, for preparing these gifted singers, and to the ever wonderful Joyce Johnson, at the organ, and the incredible members of the orchestra! 95 years of such beauty is truly something for which to be grateful. Keep on keeping on, and Merry Christmas to all!

The Brightest Light in Our Nation's Darkest Days. Thanks & Love from our Family Merry Christmas 😍!!!

Wonderful! Truly a joy and blessing to listen to such glorious singing! What a day it will be when all God's children gather around the throne and voices are uplifted in harmonious praise.

I just finished reading "The Love Songs of W.E.B. Dubois" by Honore Fanone Jeffers. How serendipitous that I came upon the college that was integral to Jeffer's remarkable novel, playing this stunningly beautiful music on Christmas morning.

Wonderfully uplifting. Thank you so very and may ALMIGHTY GOD continue to bless and empower these students and these great Universities.

The beauty of Black voices just a beautiful bouquet of our ancestors pride

"Glory to God" sends a shiver down my spine, what a beautiful concert kings and queens!

Such skilled and talented young people. They have been gifted from the hands and heart of God. I smiled as I listened to your concert and will treasure your performance in my heart. Thank you for sharing the love of God. Rejoicing the Christmas season with you!!!!

This concert has become a staple of my Christmas celebrations. I watch each concert several times each season. Many thanks to the students, the organist, the directors and everyone who makes this wonderful concert a reality every year.

This is so outstanding and it sets the spirit of Christmas in our homes for remembering the "reason for the season!" You all HBCUs very, very proud! Merry Christmas!!

I'm a Black American who lives in Europe (Paris), and have attended my fair share of very good choir performances in churches here. I've just watched your recorded performance alongside a friend who is a violinist and music professor, and we both agree that your choir is really top notch: professional; world class; in short, excellent. Bravo to you, Morehouse and Spelman College Glee Clubs, Directors Johnson and Morrow, and your vivacious organist, Joyce Johnson. .. and thank you for giving me something to feel so proud about, which emanates from my native country; It's been awhile. PS: I'll be sharing the link with another "Black American in Paris" who happens to be a Morehouse alumnus.

Thank you Choirs for a beautiful concert. This is so very welcome at a time like this. Peace, Love and Blessings to All.

This was my first time to land on this programme but the music was fit for the day when we are so many on lock down self isolating watching programmes which donnot add value to our Souls at all. thank you very much for the organisers it was wonderful keep the spirit.

Amazing!!! These talented young musicians are mesmerizing 🤩! Listening to this also makes me reflect on my ancestors ❤. That rendition of "Children Go Where I Send Thee" left me speechless. I couldn't stop clapping👏🏾, moving to the rhythm 💃🏾 and replaying it 🔁! I'm so proud of the students and everyone who played a part in this outstanding 🎼🎶 production❣❣❣

Beautifully presented. Thank you for ushering in the real meaning of Christmas ♥️

I had the pleasure of attending a Morehouse concert several years ago in San Francisco. What a joy, what a pleasure, what talent. These young men exemplified the best America has to offer.
