SUMMARY:NYC Mother's Day Celebration 2026
DESCRIPTION:New York! New York! Celebrate Mother’s Day in the Big Apple — A stunning lineup and plenty of sunshine!! \nMcDonald’s Gospelfest 2026\, produced and directed by A. Curtis Farrow\, will be at Palladium Times Square on Mother’s Day weekend 2026 on May 9th and May 10th for 3 performances. \nThe electrifying lineup features The Clark Sisters\,  Tony Award–winning Broadway legend Jennifer Holliday\, Grammy-winning powerhouse Le’Andria Johnson\, and a global showcase of outstanding local\, national\, and international talent. From Germany to Japan to Korea to every corner of the U.S.\, thousands of voices will unite for an unforgettable celebration of culture and community. \nAbout The Clark Sisters \nHailing from Detroit\, Michigan\, The Clark Sisters are the highest-selling female gospel group in history. Since their formation in 1966\, they have been credited with pioneering contemporary gospel by blending traditional church sounds with jazz\, R&B\, and classical influences. The group consists of the daughters of the legendary gospel choral director Dr. Mattie Moss Clark\, who trained them in what became known as “The Clark Sound”—characterized by intricate harmonies\, “squalls” (soulful growls)\, and high-speed vocal runs. \nThe Clark Sisters are widely considered the most influential vocal group in gospel history. Their technical vocal abilities and bold arrangements paved the way for artists like Kirk Franklin\, Mary Mary\, and countless R&B stars who cite them as their primary vocal inspiration.The Clark Sisters achieved massive mainstream success in the 1980s\, breaking through the “gospel bubble” to reach secular audiences. “You Brought the Sunshine” (1981): Their biggest crossover hit\, which was inspired by a reggae beat and became a staple in New York dance clubs like Studio 54. Other classics include “Is My Living in Vain?”\, “Hallelujah\,” “Endow Me\,” and “Expect a Miracle.” \n​They have won three Grammy Awards and were honored with the James Cleveland Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020 and their story was popularized for a new generation in the 2020 Lifetime movie\, The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel\, executive produced by Queen Latifah and Mary J. Blige. \nAbout Jennifer Holliday\nJennifer Holliday skyrocketed to fame with her iconic\, Tony Award–winning performance as Effie Melody White in the smash Broadway musical Dreamgirls. Discovered at age 17 while singing in her Houston church choir\, Holliday has since built a legendary career on stage and in music. She is a two-time Grammy Award winner for her unforgettable performances of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” and Duke Ellington’s “Come Sunday.” \nAbout Le’Andria Johnson \nGrammy Award–winning gospel artist Le’Andria Johnson rose to prominence as the season three winner of BET’s hit gospel competition Sunday Best. Her coronation song\, “I Shall Leap into My Destiny\,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Gospel charts. Her albums The Awakening of Le’Andria Johnson and The Evolution of Le’Andria Johnson earned her widespread acclaim\, making her the first Sunday Best contestant to win a Grammy Award. \nAbout A. Curtis Farrow \n2026 marks the 28th year Mr. Farrow has partnered with McDonald’s to bring the world-renowned Gospelfest celebration to life. Under his leadership\, McDonald’s Gospelfest has become the most influential gospel event in the world\, earning Farrow three Emmy Awards and seventeen nominations. His work has drawn participants from across the globe\, including Japan\, Korea\, Germany\, Canada\, and all 50 U.S. states. \nMr. Farrow organized and produced the internationally televised homegoing services for Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin. He is also a celebrated choir director\, having broken the Guinness World Record for Largest Gospel Choir with 1\,175 singers in 2014\, followed by a 2\,000-voice choir at Madison Square Garden in 2017 and a 5\,000-voice choir at Nassau Coliseum in 2018.

SUMMARY:Join Us for the 2nd ANNUAL Gospel Industry Honors!
DESCRIPTION:In every note sung and every lyric penned\, there is a story of sacrifice\, faith\, and quiet determination that rarely makes the headlines. Gospel music\, with its deep roots and wide reach\, has always depended on more than just the voices on stage — it thrives because of countless men and women who labor behind the scenes\, fueled by a calling far greater than fame. \nThis year\, the Gospel Industry Coalition (GIC) is stepping into a new season of gratitude with an event that has been long overdue: the Inaugural Gospel Industry Honors — a moment to pause\, reflect\, and celebrate the “Unsung Sheroes & Heroes” whose unseen hands and unwavering hearts have kept the message alive. \nMark your calendar: \nFriday\, August 14\, 2026 \n10:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET \nCHARLOTTE\, NC \nFor decades\, I have witnessed firsthand how radio promoters burn the midnight oil\, how publicists carry burdens few see\, how background vocalists bring songs to life without standing in the spotlight. They do it not for glory\, but because they know the power of gospel music to heal\, uplift\, and transform lives. \nThe Gospel Industry Honors is our way of giving flowers while they can still be appreciated. Saying thank you to those who have given so much without asking for anything in return. It is our collective exhale; a room filled with praise\, laughter\, tears\, and testimonies that remind us why we do what we do. \nGuests will gather for an elegant brunch\, filled with moments of heartfelt recognition\, stirring tributes\, and stories that will inspire a new generation to serve this industry with the same integrity and passion. \nWhy you should be in the room: \nThis is not just an event — it’s a movement to reclaim the spirit of community and honor within gospel music. It’s a gathering where legends meet laborers\, artists embrace administrators\, and everyone is seen as vital to the mission. \nTickets: $100 for Non-Members | $75 for General/Professional Members | $50 for GIC Founding Members |  \nSeats are limited because we want this to be intimate — a family reunion of sorts\, where hugs are genuine and gratitude flows freely. \nTickets go on sale May 1\, 2026 \nIf you have ever hummed a song that lifted your spirit\, you owe a debt to someone whose name you may never know — until now. Join us as we stand together\, as one body\, to honor those who have quietly kept the fire burning. \nBecause in this industry\, we know: to serve is to lead\, and to lead is to love. \nWe can’t wait to celebrate with you. \n
