The Annual Stillman College Sunday, a signature event at Westminster Presbyterian Church for over 40 years, will be observed at 3 p.m., Sunday, February 9 at Westminster. The nationally-renowned Stillman College Concert Choir, which has been featured in the “Birmingham Magazine,” will perform at the event, under the direction of Bruce Alvin Thompson.
Stillman’s choir has a touring group of 30 singers and a repertoire of music encompassing various periods and styles. The choir’s acclaim, noted in various rave reviews, highlights its ability to perform distinct areas of church music: European offerings from four centuries, century-old Negro spirituals, and gospel music of today.
During the concert intermission, a scholarship presentation will be made to selected local high school students and students currently enrolled at Stillman College by Stillman College Scholarship Golf Tournament Committee-Birmingham. Members of that committee include: Arthur Bailey, Cora Williams, Jordan Frazier, Alvin Washington, Darryl Jones, and Gloria Dennard.
Stillman alumni, friends, and supporters, plus the community at-large are encouraged to attend this free, stellar event for an afternoon of mesmerizing choral entertainment.
