Two Choirs, One Energy

Noël Gospel brings together two Montreal choirs that regularly collaborate:

  • the Jireh Gospel Choir, directed by Carol Bernard, which produces the event and also tours in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada.

The show is directed by Carol Bernard, with Paul Charles as musical director. The diversity of the choristers and the power of the voices are part of the success of this annual event.
