– Black History Month Background
Union Chapel is a historic church based in Islington with a small but enthusiastic congregation looking to expand our horizons. It is well known as an iconic music venue attracting major artists. It is also a centre for social justice and community activities.
In recent years, the church has been developing music in our Sunday services with a range of genres, classical, jazz, gospel, and world music. The church has also created several unique events led by our musicians. These have included our annual Christmas Candlelight service, Good Friday evening performances and smaller events to commemorate such occasions as Black History Month, a remembrance event in the Covid pandemic. Besides the usual church festivals, we also have special services for Refugee Week, Gay Pride, Holocaust Memorial, and other special commemorations.
We are now embarking on a major project aimed at making Union Chapel a centre of excellence for world music suitable for church services. Our first project is for Black History Month and will feature music from Africa and the diaspora together with traditional to contemporary Gospel. It aims to inform and perform Gospel music in its historical context and as a living tradition.
We are forming a small, auditioned ensemble of singers/musicians who will take part in a Sunday service on October 24th and an evening event on October 27th in our iconic venue.
