The Flaming? Midnight Musical (Room A: Sky Church)

The Flaming? Midnight Musical is a late(r) night session that celebrates the spiritual and social fire, that is, great musical skill explored in the spectrum of Black music forms. Traditionally, the midnight musical serves as entertainment for churchgoing young adults that did not "go to the club" on Friday nights. However, somehow attendees managed to go to both venues. At these concerts, organizers showcased community and college gospel choirs to demonstrate their musical prowess, a sonic representation of the best "church party" that they could ignite. This concert will activate the virtual performance space, erasing the boundaries between sacred and secular, by featuring artists who represent the best of both worlds.
