Juneteenth Worship will launch the Summer Series of University Public Worship and will feature the Oakland Jazz Choir.

The Sacred Summer Music Series invites choirs from around Bay Area to Stanford Memorial Church each year to share their gifts and talents in a town and gown worship that celebrates the rich cultural heritages of the Bay Area. Each week we will host a different choir with sacred readings and prayers in worship and rejoice together in our Summer of Sacred Joy!

The Oakland Jazz Choir, (OJC) a non-profit, has been an East Bay institution for over 30+ years. During this span the group has taken many shapes, sizes and forms but the common denominator has always been the same: Joy of expression, using the voice to communicate the triumphs, as well as the turbulence, of the human spirit. They are committed to bringing vocal jazz performance and education to under served audiences in the Bay Area and beyond.
