Join us on December 12, 2023, as we celebrate the birth of our Savior & recognize the 10th anniversary of A Soulful Christmas with Dr. Donald Dumpson’s 50 years in music ministry.

Program History

A Soulful Christmas was created after a collaboration between the Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Heritage Chorale. The event is inspired by African diaspora and a unique, large-scale event hosted in the Verizon Hall over in the Kimmel Center.

A Soulful Christmas is meant to bring communities and community-based choirs, great pastors across Philadelphia, praise dancers, and many instrumental artists together in the Kimmel Center’s Verizon Hall and have an annual celebration of worship and music. While enjoying the show, you can also enjoy the Fred J. Cooper Memorial Organ, the Finale of Lights, and much more.
