Gospel: When voices become hope | 15 Nov. 2026, 11:00

One voice rises. Another answers. And somewhere between them, courage finds its sound.

This Sunday, 15 November 2026, at 11:00 Athens time, journalist Katerina Batzaki invites listeners to discover the compelling journey of gospel on “Infinitely Curious,” the English-language program of ERT and Voice of Greece.

From African musical memory to African American spirituals, from Black churches to the civil rights movement and rehearsal rooms in Athens, we follow a living tradition that carries pain, faith, and the longing for freedom from one generation to the next.

Dr. Emmett G. Price III explores the historical roots of African American sacred music and its power to sustain resistance and hope.

David Freeman Coleman, pianist, composer, and gospel choir director, reveals how gospel moves us—and how its rhythms, harmonies, and voices have transformed popular music.

Terry Vakirtzoglou, Greek singer, choir director, and Fulbright visiting scholar at Berklee, discusses gospel’s journey across cultures, our responsibility to honor its history, and the sense of belonging we can discover through singing together.

An invitation to listen beyond the melody—to hear the lives, struggles, and dreams it carries. Because one voice can tell a story. Together, voices can carry it into the future.

Produced and presented by Katerina Batzaki
