Prominent Howard University choir to sing in Harrisburg next month

The Howard Gospel Choir

Howard University’s prominent gospel choir will perform next month in downtown Harrisburg, marking the group’s first appearance in the city in a decade.

The Market Square Presbyterian Church will host the Howard Gospel Choir on Sunday, Feb. 15 for a 4 p.m. show. The show is arranged by the church’s Arts on the Square committee, which puts on a series of musical performances each year.

“We are so proud to be bringing this group to Harrisburg audiences, especially during Black History Month,” said Tyler Canonico-Dilley, artistic director for Arts on the Square.

The choir will be accompanied by rhythm musicians, musically directed by Reginald Golden.

The Howard University group, founded in 1968, has been performing gospel music as an ensemble for roughly 50 years. 

Tickets are available both in advance and at the door. General seating costs $25. Preferred seating is $30. Tickets for students and children are $15 and $10, respectively.

Free parking is available in the adjacent Market Square Garage.

The Market Square Presbyterian Church is located at 20 S. Second St. in Harrisburg. For more information, visit artsonthesquare.net.
