Sapp Joined Fred Hammond, Take 6, The Clark Sisters And More During The Recent Kennedy Center Performance
December 21, 2017 – Marvin Sapp, who recently received his 11thGRAMMY® nomination, performed with The National Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center recently, as it celebrated the 25th anniversary of the award–winning Handel’s Messiah. The one-night only event also featured BeBe Winans, Chante Moore, The Clark Sisters, Take 6, Deitrick Haddon, Jennifer Holliday and other artists.
Sapp performed “Lift Up Your Heads, O Ye Gates” with The Clark Sisters, which was a magical reunion because Hammond and Sapp, as members of Commissioned, recorded the original version along with The Clark Sisters. Sapp’s other featured performance was “O Thou That Tellist Good Tidings to Zion” with Take 6 and Fred Hammond. Sapp also performed in the grand finale of “Hallelujah!” with the full cast. The sold out audience received Bishop Marvin Sapp enthusiastically each time he graced the stage.
