Anyone who attended yesterday’s free community outreach concert by the IN UNISON Chorus knows that summer is definitely here. With the air conditioning out, the crowd resorted to waving hand fans. They cooled themselves, but the feet-stomping, hand-clapping gospel only raised the heat — as it should.

The concert was held at Union Memorial United Methodist Church, located at 1141 Belt Ave. Soprano Gwendolyn Wesley was phenomenal singing “I Praise Him ‘Cause I Should.” And trumpet player Joshua Williams, 19, played “Grand Russian Fantasia,” prompting a standing ovation by many in the crowd.

If you missed out, try to catch a future performance. More information on the IN UNISON Chorus can be found here.
