The concert attracted over 350 guests from both the Harvard and Cambridge communities, some who were quite familiar with the gospel experience and others who came with no idea of what to expect.
Jessica L. Lee, a Cambridge high school student who heard about the concert from an older sister, attends a conservative church and said she had never seen anything like this before.
"I love it, I think it's so awesome," she said. "I didn't expect this much strong faith, it's really amazing."
Wambui Chege, a student at Cornell Medical School, was in the area visiting her sister and came to show support for the choirs.
"It was very moving, it was good to see so many young people of many different colors doing good things with their life," she said.
