Happy World Laughter Day! 😄

Laughter and music are universal human experiences, deeply connected through social bonding, emotional expression, and even physical well-being. Both can trigger the release of endorphins—the body’s natural feel-good chemicals—helping reduce stress and lower blood pressure.

At the Detroit Concert Choir, the music we make is only part of the story—the laughter we share is what truly brings us together. From joyful rehearsals to meaningful friendships beyond the stage, these moments shape the heart of our community.

Join us on May 16 & 17 for Sound in Technicolor and experience the difference a community filled with smiles and laughter can make in the music we create.

As we prepare for Sound in Technicolor, we’re proud to highlight a Detroit composer whose work "honors the past, embraces the present, and inspires the future of choral music."

Stacey V. Gibbs is a prolific and highly sought after composer and arranger. Best known for arrangements of spirituals, he is highly acclaimed for his ability to infuse new energy into familiar works without sacrificing their authenticity or power.

His music has been programmed at all state festivals, National Association of Music Educators (MENC) Festivals, the World Choir Games, and regional and national American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) Conventions. Several of his works also appear on J.W. Pepper's Editor's Choice lists, including his setting of "Way Over in Beulah Lan'" which was performed at the 57th Inaugural Service for President Barack Obama. This vibrant and soul-stirring piece will be featured on our upcoming concert.

Join us in celebrating the artistry of a composer from our own Detroit community and experience the dynamic "sound palette" of the Detroit Concert Choir.
