The concert will start at 4 p.m. and will feature Garilus performing a blend of gospel, jazz, R&B, soul and inspirational worship music. The program will also include 1,000 Voices of Florida. Trinity United Methodist is located at 4000 NW 53rd Ave. in Gainesville.

A limited number of early bird tickets are available for $40. After the early bird offer ends, general admission tickets will cost $50. A $75 premium package includes premium seating, a meet-and-greet with Garilus and a photo opportunity with the artist.
