Stella Jones & The American Christmas Gospel

A Jubilee Full of Emotion

For 25 years, this well-known concert series at Christmas has been a fixed point and a shining highlight in the Advent season. 25 years filled with music, encounters, and unforgettable Christmas moments. A musical experience full of emotions, rhythm, and community. In 2026, we will say "Thank you" for the enthusiasm over all these years. Generations of guests have shared these evenings with us, friendships have formed, and traditions have grown.

When Gospel Fills the Votivkirche with Life

Experiencing a gospel concert live in one of the most beautiful churches in Vienna is more than just a concert. It is a feeling that fills the entire space and lingers. It means goosebumps, warmth, and pure emotion. As soon as the first voices sound, harmonies rise, carried by the unique acoustics of the sacred building. The impressive backdrop, the traditional robes of the choir—all of this merges into a moving overall experience. People smile at each other, strangers feel connected for a moment. One sings, claps, and dances with joy, or simply enjoys the atmosphere. On these concert evenings, we are one big family united by music. Every melody touches, voices unite, and the rhythms connect hearts. When leaving the church, one is filled with happiness and Christmas warmth.

“Miss Black Voice” Stella Jones

Stella Jones is a singer, musician, and producer. A true musician at heart.

As the daughter of American bebop trumpeter Carmell Jones and blues singer Christine Jones, music was instilled in her from birth. These roots shape her distinctive style that blends gospel, soul, and jazz. The list of artists Stella Jones collaborates with is extraordinarily long. With her impressive voice, charismatic presence, and deep emotional power, she captivates her audience, especially when gospel sounds fill the church with light and hope during the Christmas season.

Join us as we celebrate 25 years of gospel in the Votivkirche this Christmas and experience a jubilee that touches, connects, and resonates long after.
