Alvin Slaughter, known as the preeminent leader of praise and worship, will be ringing in the holidays at the world-renowned Lincoln Center in New York City. Slaughter will be participating in the 17th Annual Holiday Tree Lighting on Monday, November 27, 2006 from 5:30 – 6:30PM which will be hosted by Good Morning America’s Sam Champion and WABC-TV’s Sade Baderinwa. The festivities will take place on Josie Robertson Plaza, next to Lincoln Center’s famous fountain at Columbus Avenue and 64th Street. The event will kick off the neighborhood’s Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square festival.

The Dove and Stellar Award nominee will be joined by the SRC All-City Gospel Chorale as he sings some of the holiday season’s favorite tunes. One of the Big Apple’s most noted seasonal traditions, the Annual Holiday Tree Lighting, is a celebration of the city’s rich cultural and artistic diversity. Also included on the program will be The Metropolitan Opera, The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and The New York City Ballet.

Earlier that morning, Slaughter will be performing in front of the Lincoln Center Holiday Tree on Good Morning America during the live taping from 7:00 – 9:00AM. The community event will be broadcast live on WABC-TV, Channel 7.

Alvin Slaughter is revered as one of gospel music’s most dynamic worship leaders. Getting his start as a featured vocalist for the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, he’s gained notoriety as a solo artist with hits like “Shout”, “Rain Down” and “My Joy”. In addition to his latest project, The Faith Life, he’s dropped a brand new book, I Got It Back!, a powerful motivational tool for the “stuck” Christian. The Integrity Gospel recording artist is currently on a whirlwind national singing/speaking tour, An Evening With Alvin.
