Donald Lawrence is a Grammy award-winning songwriter, producer, composer, and choir director.  He has had chart-topping albums and hits to his credit over his almost 30-year career. 

His latest project is titled Goshen, the story of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt as told in the Bible's Old Testament.  It's a unique album he produced more than a year ago with plans for a staged music and dance project. But the pandemic put the brakes on those plans. 

However, a theater tour is coming soon. Just last week, people got a sneak peek at Goshen the musical as a part of the Chicago Dance Theater's 25th anniversary season celebration in the city's Millennium Park.

Lawrence is a North Carolina native, and there's a celebration planned next month for his 2020 induction into the Tarheel State's Music Hall of Fame.

For Lawrence's full interview and more uplifting stories like this one, watch Studio 5 at 8:30 PM Eastern Wednesdays on the CBN News Channel. You can also watch on the CBN News app.
