“Damien Sneed is an ambassador for classical and gospel music who brings positivity, optimism, and thoroughness to every occasion. In the realest sense, he uses his artistry to make our world a better place.” – Wynton Marsalis

Pianist, organist, vocalist, conductor, composer, producer, arranger, and educator Damien Sneed does it all, whether it’s writing an opera for the Lyric Opera of Chicago or serving as musical director for BET’s Sunday Best. In this program, “Joy to the World: A Christmas Musical Journey,” Sneed is joined by backing singers and a band in his own arrangements of gospel, jazz, and classical holiday favorites.
