Our Mission
The NJ Gathering: A Celebration of HBCU Voices is a dynamic music based festival dedicated to honoring and uplifting the rich legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through the power of music.
By showcasing black music; choral, gospel and all other forms, this event provides a platform for diverse voices to unite in harmony, celebrate cultural heritage, and inspire the next generation of musicians.
Our Purpose
Through performances, workshops, and educational sessions, we aim to enrich understanding of the profound impact HBCUs have had on education, community, and the arts. The Gathering also offers scholarships to support the academic and musical aspirations of students, ensuring that the voices of tomorrow have the resources to thrive. Our mission is to cultivate an environment where music, history, and scholarship intersect, fostering pride, creativity, and educational advancement while celebrating the enduring power of Black music and culture.
