Taken from GMWA's website :
"In 1968 James Cleveland had a dream. He gathered a small circle of gifted writers, singers and instrumentalists in Philadelphia in hopes of nurturing young talent and furthering the development of the music he loved and devoted his life to.
Thirty one years later, that dream has flourished into a nationwide reality and has become one of the cornerstones of Gospel music, the Gospel Music Workshop of America. Today GMWA has nearly 30,000 members in 150 chapters across America and abroad. Each year they meet at their annual convention in August and sing, learn and fellowship together.
The GMWA has been the training ground for a number of Gospel’s greatest talent’s and visionaries, including contemporary superstars Kirk Franklin and John P. Kee, and many others. It’s an organization whose sole purpose has always been to give Gospel musicians opportunities and settings where they can both teach and learn from each other, and to know that the fruits of their labor could one day reach literally around the world."
So today, I thought I'd do a post featuring all four Gospel Music Workshop of America's choirs; GMWA National Mass Choir, GMWA Youth Mass Choir, GMWA Men of Promise, and GMWA Women of Worship. I hope you all are blessed by it and if so, go to GMWA's website to find out how you, a family member, a friend, or even your child can be apart of your local GMWA chapter.
