Jazz AWE (Alternative Worship Experience)

Jazz AWE (Alternative Worship Experience) gives a musical twist to the Sunday church experience. Live jazz music is woven into readings, reflection and conversations. Hosted by Rev. Sophia Ducey, this year’s Jazz AWE features the Circle Of Voices Gospel Group, with the incredible vocals of Candus Churchill, Leora Cashe, Joseph Chappel and Will Sanders with Jaye Krebs on piano.

From the first song to the last shout, Circle Of Voices reach the unreachable with a soul-stirring and uplifting message. They incorporate contemporary and traditional gospel into fresh innovative arrangements that touch the heart and raise the roof!

BC Entertainment Hall Of Fame Star Meritus Inductee, Candus Churchill, along with one of Canada’s finest Jazz and gospel singers with a rich and resounding voice that brings down the house, Leora Cashe; member of the famous Hawkins Family who has sung with countless stars such as The Temptations, Thelonius Monk and many more, Joseph Chapple; and Jessie Nominee and one of the founding members of The Sojourners, Will Sanders were all also members of the mainstay Vancouver group The Gospel Experience for over two decades.
