    One Voice illuminates a group of people from diverse faiths, races, genders, socioeconomic backgrounds, and lifestyles, all with a common goal: to bring joy and inspiration to the stage through black gospel music. By coming from a place of inclusion and acceptance, choir members are able to bridge their differences, embracing the celebrations and challenges that arise along the way. In the midst of a country that once again finds itself grappling with issues of race, gender equality, and intolerance, a group in Oakland, California, continues the rich historical tradition of using black gospel music to promote peace, love, and acceptance. For over three decades, OIGC has inspired audiences all over the world. The choir delivers its world-class music across the globe, thrilling concert attendees at renowned venues such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Molde International Jazz Festival. Yet it stays true to its Oakland roots, lifting the spirits of the homeless, elderly, and inmates throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. From its humble beginning to OIGC’s 30th Anniversary celebration on the historic Paramount Theatre stage, this choir continues to circulate musical excellence through the manifestation of One Voice.

    I forgot what year that was (2000 apparently), but I will never forget your concert in Jerusalem. We have never experienced anything like that before or since.
    I ended up singing semiprofessionally but it is still my dream to perform with a gospel choir such as yours - unfortunately, Israel is the last place on Earth to do that.

    People should not be angry and hurt people for having different religions.
    Because in every religion god asked us to love and serve one another
    See different religions as proof God exists, as people from every backwater seek God
    Those who don’t know or are unsure or only science. We these people study all gods creation in a more direct way.
    The only offense then is not to love one another.
