This year, we are excited to extend an invitation to everyone to join us in celebrating Juneteenth through the power of music. Our featured clinician, Professor Anita Watkins-Stevens will be teaching a variety of songs and will be the director for this concert on June 15th at 2 pm, First Baptist Church, 739 N. 8th Street Quincy Il. Our Voices of Juneteenth Community choir will be performing a special concert in honor of this important holiday, and we would love you to be a part of this memorable event.
Juneteenth marks the day when the last enslaved African Americans were freed, and it’s a day that reflects the resilience, freedom, and culture of the African American community. To honor this, we are assembling a diverse group of singers for a powerful, soul-stirring performance that will celebrate these themes.
For those interested in singing, please complete the Choir Sign-Up Form. For those interested in being band members, please complete the Band Sign-Up Form.
