Uniting Voices of Chicago join with Uniting Voices of Lexington for a concert at Immanuel Baptist Church on , Saturday Jan. 14, 2023 in Lexington, Ky.

Lexington’s Calvary Baptist Church is putting on a free concert this weekend, meant to promote unity and diversity in central Kentucky.

The church’s “Together in Unity” concert is bringing together two different choirs from the city: one from St. Luke’s Methodist Church and the youth choir Univing Voices Lexington.

Music will include choral pieces alongside solo instrumental works and jazz combos.

Monty Stallins is the pastor at Calvary Baptist Church. He says they’ve put on the concert for the past three years as a “gift” to the community.

“Unity means coming together in the midst of our diversity, finding that sense of community where we're sharing our lives together from lots of different places, from lots of different perspectives.”

Stallins says anyone is invited to attend, with no ticket required. The concert starts at 3 p.m. on Sunday in the church’s sanctuary.
