The ISS, celebrated for their exceptional vocal artistry, brings a unique blend of passion, precision, and purpose to their performances. With a rich history of global travel, the choir has performed across the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, Canada, North America, Asia, Africa and South America. These international experiences have not only shaped their music but also infused it with a universal appeal that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds.   

Captain James Addis, leader of The Salvation Army in Gloucester, shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming concert:   

“We are thrilled to welcome the International Staff Songsters to Gloucester. Their music is a gift to the soul—a beautiful expression of peace, hope, and love that will undoubtedly bless everyone who attends. Having travelled the world, their music carries a richness and depth that speaks to the heart. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their sound, this is an evening you won’t want to miss.”   

“Don’t miss this opportunity to be moved by the power of music that transcends borders and brings warmth to even the coldest of days. Join us for an evening of melody, inspiration, and community.”
