One of the first Italian gospel choirs, founded in 1995 by Carla Baldini, who is still its director. Thanks to a confident and close-knit choir and to solo singers and musicians of great level, every concert of the Sisters and Brothers is an explosion of rousing joy. The great emotion transmitted by a concert of the Sisters and Brothers is an experience that is not forgotten. The choir has recorded two albums - one of which sold all over the world on the occasion of the Jubilee 2000 - and has played in about 250 concerts performing with great Italian and foreign artists: the renowned singer and vocal coach Cheryl Porter (also the choir's special guest in the cd "The Gospel Night"). Charlie Cannon, Alexia, The Uni-Sound from New York, Black Voices from London, Ginger Brew, Joy Garrison, Vincent Bohanan and Sound of Victory from New York, Carla Jane (London)
Also available with the "Tribute to Ray" project, with added brass section, dedicated to the music of Ray Charles with original arrangements.

We need a professional audio-lights service, which we can provide if not available on the venue
We need clear directions, then we need infos about the place. It is very important to know whether there is a stage and an audio-lights service. We like to watch photos/videos so that we know in advance where to place instruments and singers.
When sound and lighting equipment is not provided by the venue, we can hire a professional service
Yes, we can. We normally agree with the client on the music to be played before, between and after our sets.
We have performed in so many churches, theatres and cmusical halls! It is quite impossible to give the perfect answer. Anyway our top shows are the ones with the greatest gospel choir and singers in the world, such as the world-famous vocal coach and singer Cheryl Porter (Chicago), The Black Voices (London), Chicago Mass Choir (Chicago), Uni.Sound (New York), Vincent Bohanan & SOV (New York) and many others. We also loved to record two CDs, one of which has special tracks recorded by Cheryl Porter.
We have performed about 250 live events: being on stage is our way of living, so we do like every type of events. Nonetheless, concerts and weddings are our favourite!
We started gigging in 1996: so we have just celebrated our 30th anniversary!
All the greatest spiritual and gospel ensemble are of great inspiration to us, and we also like singers and musician such as Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Etta James and many others. In our genre the most significant songs are "Oh, happy day", "Amazing Grace" and all the classical afro-american spiritual and gospel tunes.
We normally arrive 2 hours before the beginning of our performance. We normally perform one set (about 75') plus encore, but we can also agree on two shorter sets. We are also always happy to play a bit longer, depending on the client's needs
We are happy to perform outside as well as inside
We have our repertoire, of course, but we are happy to discuss it with our clients.
Previous clients are normally very satisfied about our concerts: we have been called in the very same locations year after year, sometimes for more than 10 years in a row.
Here is our last clients's message, after we performed at their wedding in a country castle in Umbria, Italy:
"Hi Carla and Sisters & Brothers Gospel Choir Ensemble, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for your spectacular performance on our wedding day. You were absolutely wonderful; your pure voices, joyful energy, and professionalism were outstanding. The moment I walked down the aisle to Ukuthula was so incredibly powerful; it still moves us to tears of happiness every time we listen to it. Thank you for giving us such a magical and unforgettable memory."
