"A Symphony Celebration: The Blind Boys Of Alabama With Dr. Henry Panion, III" focuses on messages of humanity, peace and love. The program features the five-time Grammy-winning Blind Boys of Alabama with conductor Dr. Henry Panion, III, and a full symphony orchestra.
Hailed as "Gospel Titans" by Rolling Stonemagazine, this beloved group – which has collaborated with everyone from Mavis Staples to Stevie Wonder to Prince on the world's most prestigious stages — rose to fame in the segregated South with their thrilling vocal harmonies and roof-raising live shows.
The concert features a combined choir from Alabama's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), including Alabama State, Alabama A&M, Miles College, Tuskegee University and Talladega College among others.
