Jackson Singers - World of Gospel

Description

Jackson Singers: “World of Gospel” exudes pure joy, contagious happiness, and voices that touch the soul: For decades, the Jackson Singers have enchanted audiences with their traditional songs and unmistakable gospel sound. In December 2026, the American choir will return to Switzerland for a series of Christmas concerts. A tradition since 1989.
What started in 1989 with a first tour through Switzerland has long become a cultural fixture. But the performances are not driven by nostalgia, but by the power of the moment. When classics like “Kumbayah,” “Motherless Child,” “When The Saints Go Marching,” or “Oh Happy Day” are sung, past and present merge. Modern pop ballads with spiritual heartbeat and festive Christmas songs like “Silent Night” or “Amazing Grace” also come into play – a mix that gets entire halls singing along, clapping, and dancing. The exuberant joy with which the songs are performed is what makes the choir's special charm and has delighted audiences since the 1980s.
Atmosphere like in the USA
The Jackson Singers, founded in the USA, are among the oldest original Black Gospel choirs. Their concerts create an atmosphere reminiscent of the great churches of America – warm, festive, and full of hope. They have shared the stage with stars like Michael Jackson, Meat Loaf, or Helene Fischer – yet it is their unique, unmistakable magic that continues to captivate audiences today. And it is this magic that carries their music from American stages into the heart of Switzerland’s Advent season.
Voices with feelings
For over 40 years, the Jackson Singers have been performing on stages around the world and appearing on TV shows – always a live experience of exceptional quality. The harmony of the top soloists and the choir is overwhelming. They create emotional worlds with their voices and surely touch everyone. But nowhere is Christmas as lively as here – right in the middle of Switzerland, among us.
