Submarine Group 2 Hosts Black Heritage Month Gospel Concert

GROTON, Conn. - The Commander of Submarine Group 2 and the Black Heritage Committee seek choirs to help “make a joyful noise” and celebrate Black Heritage Month through music during a Black Heritage Month Gospel Music Concert on Feb. 18 at the Shepherd of the Sea Chapel, 231 Gungywamp Rd.

Currently, the committee is seeking choirs to participate. If you are interested, please RSVP not later than Jan. 21 with your church and choir name and/or soloist representative. Also include your musical needs. All choirs are asked to render two selections; all soloists one selection. Points of contact for this event are Joseph M. Brickhouse Sr., office 860-694-4292/3341, cell 201-463-3867 and Eric Rattler, office 860-694-4451/3341.

We have come to understand that from inception to present day, music has been a part of the trials and triumphs in African-American heritage. Moreover, the church and Gospel music have been the backbone for much of African-Americans culture. Therefore, we want to recognize and celebrate the many contributions of African-Americans to the country and the world by lifting our voices in unity through song and fellowship.

Submarine Group 2Thank you for helping us celebrate an important part of our national heritage.
