The Tabernacles, since its inception by a group of young, enthusiastic, dynamic singers on 02 December 1967 ' The Tabernacles ' under its Founder Conductor, Late Kenneth V Gibson has steadily grown from a piano-accordion and an acoustic guitar group to a full fledged choir, rendering western light, semi classic and classical church music, pieces from Handel, Mozart, Beethoven and Bach. The group started with a small classical from Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s desiring to singing some big classics like Mozart’s God is gone up, Handel’s Zadok the priest, Kyrie and Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria, besides Negro Spiritual songs in the twin cities of Hyderabad and secunderabad.

The only choir group in the twin cities and one of the few in India to achieve a milestone of 55 years could only happen because of the zeal and interest, the will power and leadership qualities of the Founder Conductor, Kenneth V Gibson the conductor, supported by lots of love and dedication by the singers and musicians who have been part of the group. All Glory to God alone.
