Nicole shares her excitement about this special performance:

“I am excited to perform once again with the Houston Ebony Opera Guild. It is my honor to celebrate Juneteenth singing the music of my beloved former voice teacher, Dr. Lena McLin, in my adopted city of Houston. This concert will connect my Chicago roots, Christian faith and Black culture in the most perfect way.”

— Nicole Heaston

This powerful program will honor the rich traditions of African American music and celebrate the resilience, faith, and spirit that define the Juneteenth story.
