A Unique Christmas Carol Experience in California
ICCLA Sound of Christmas is unique among other Christmas Carol events. The musical show is a synergetic blend of a myriad of cultural expressions.
ICCLA Sound of Christmas combines Western orchestra instruments with West African percussions, beautifully accompanied by an urban contemporary band. The phonetic beauty they create together perfectly syncs with vocal renditions of diverse genres like opera, salsa, and African anthems; in different languages, from French and Spanish to Latin and African dialects.
Bringing Hollywood and All to the Gospel
The power of music as a universal language that cuts across different nationalities, personalities and genres cannot be overemphasized. Hence the ICCLA Sound of Christmas, provides the unique opportunity of bringing Hollywood and All to the Gospel.
A Not-So-Forgettable Experience
You need to be there to experience the heart warmth, occasioned by the cheerful, colorful ambience and angelic sounds flowing from the ICCLA Vineyard Voices & Band, African Drum Ensemble and Orchestra; all culminating in an enthralling atmosphere of joyful worship. It’s truly a different type of party and experience unlike any other in California. What a beautiful way to celebrate Christmas and above all, adore the King of Glory!
