A powerhouse group opens the 36th season of the Bonita Lestina Old Town Hall Performance Series this Friday and you won't want to miss them! Known by many as "the Gospel Temptations", this family group has been singing together for over 40 years. Enjoy the group's amazing vocal harmonies, from the high-flying falsettos of the first tenor to the deep rich sounds of the low bass.

This group is proud to be a Virginia Commission on the Arts' Touring Artist, and this concert is supported by grants from both the VCA and the Fairfax City Commision on the Arts.
