LOS ANGELES AND DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — THE ACCLAIMED BROOKLYN TABERNACLE CHOIR ON SUNDAY, FEB. 1 WON ITS SEVENTH GRAMMY AWARD, SINGING NEWS reported.

The pioneer choir, which has expanded over more than five decades from a small nine-member group into a major ethnically-diverse ensemble, is bringing home the 2026 Grammy Award for Best Roots Gospel Album for “I Will Not Be Moved: Live with The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.” The choir was presented with the prize during the 68th Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony, held in Los Angeles.

The ensemble is a blend of singers with a deep faith and classical training. The album includes several songs already familiar to Christian music genre listeners, as well as new songs that TBTC’s founding director, Carol Cymbala, has either written or co-written, and features artists Stephen McWhirter, Babbie Mason, Brad Hudson and TaRanda Greene.

Since going into ministry with her husband, Pastor Jim Cymbala, and establishing the choir in 1973, Carol Cymbala has written hundreds of songs and recorded thirty albums, seven of which have won Grammy Awards. She continues to direct the Brooklyn Tabernacle’s music ministry.
