Soulful Joy is just what it sounds like: a joyful and soulful way to come together during the holiday season! Soulful Joy reimagines the holiday spirit with jazz, gospel, soul, and a hint of storytelling. It’s a beautiful new tradition at Grace Cathedral! 

Led by Destiny Muhammad’s stirring vocals and harp, Soulful Joy features her cool, eclectic Sonic Ensemble of Bay Area Masters: musicians Leon Joyce, Jr., Tammy Hall, and Ron Belcher; vocalists Leberta Lorál, Nicolas Bearde, and Will Hammond Jr.; and dancers Carla Service and Victor Temple.
