  • 10 Time Grammy® Award-Winning a Capella Group Take 6 in a Special One-Night-Only Performance at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts
    April 13, 2011 10 TIME GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING A CAPELLA GROUP TAKE 6 IN A SPECIAL ONE-NIGHT-ONLY PERFORMANCE AT THE ANNENBERG CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS LOCAL COMMUNITY GOSPEL CHOIRS – MUSIC MINISTRY CHOIR OF ABUNDANT LIFE HEALING FELLOWSHIP, THE ST. THOMAS GOSPEL CHOIR AND THE PENN ALUMNI GOSPEL CHOIR TO PERFORM AS OPENING ACT (Philadelphia, April 13, 2011) — The a capella gospel group Quincy Jones calls "the baddest vocal cats on the planet" returns to the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts for a special one-night-only performance on Saturday, April 30 at 8:00 PM. Three local gospel choirs will open the first half of the concert – Music Ministry Choir of Abundant Life Healing Fellowship, the Penn Alumni Gospel Choir and the St. Thomas Gospel Choir of the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas. Tickets for Take 6 start at $20. For tickets or for more information, please visit www.AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office. This is the final performance of the 10/11 Annenberg Center African Roots series, which featured sold-out performances by Hugh Masekela and the South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. With its roots in gospel, doo-wop, and the sophisticated jazz-influenced singing groups of mid- century America, Take 6 is both a throwback to an earlier, more genteel era of American music and a precursor for a number of black male pop groups of the 1990s, most notably Boyz II Men. Known for their upbeat, swinging take on gospel, the ten-time Grammy® award-winning group has collaborated with artists as diverse as Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Queen Latifah and Whitney Houston.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Take 6 has built a signature sound that draws from gospel, jazz, doo­wop, R&B, 1960s soul, and hip­hop. Paving the way for contemporary R&B vocal groups, Take 6 has had a profound impact on many of today’s artists, including Boyz II Men and Coming of Age. The performance will feature selections from the group’s upcoming new release, Feels Good, due out in the U.S March 21. The concert is presented by the University Musical Society.

Take 6 has legendary beginnings. The group was initially conceived in 1980 by Claude McKnight as a barbershop quartet, the Gentleman’s Estate Quartet at Oakwood College, a small Christian school, and began performing around campus. A few months later, Mark Kibble heard the group practicing in the bathroom and decided to add a fifth part.
