The World Famous Harlem Gospel Choir
Blue Note131 West 3rd Street, New York 10012
Blue Note hosts WBGO Presents Brunch with The World Famous Harlem Gospel Choir, billed as the afternoon’s sole act. The listing frames it as a brunch presentation rather than a standard late-night club set, bringing a gospel choir to the Manhattan listening room. Seating is first come, first served, with table and bar-area options; the event is open to all ages at tables, while the bar area is reserved for patrons 21 and over. The club asks guests to observe its per-person food and drink minimum, and points audiences to its brunch menu.
The available event information identifies the performers as The World Famous Harlem Gospel Choir, but does not name individual singers, describe the group’s current lineup, or provide a program for this appearance. It also supplies no biographical account of the choir’s origins, recording history, collaborators, or previous performances. No venue social post accompanies the listing, and no usable search result was provided to establish further background or quote critical reception. What is clear from the billing is the scale of the presentation: this is a choir-led gospel program at Blue Note, presented under the WBGO Presents Brunch banner.
Blue Note Jazz Club is a dedicated listening room in the heart of Manhattan's jazz district, where the music is the focus and the space is designed to let the sound fill the room. The club features a stage with a small audience area, and the atmosphere is one of quiet concentration on the music. Shows typically begin at 8:00 PM with a second set at 10:30 PM, and the audience sits on chairs close to the stage. The club has a bar, and drinks are available. The experience is primarily about listening to live jazz, with occasional gospel and soul performances, and the audience often stays to talk and enjoy the music after the sets.
