Liberation! | Presented by the School of Music and the Millikin Symphonic Wind Ensemble

The Millikin Symphonic Wind Ensemble presents a concert celebrating the fight for freedom throughout the world. The music will include tributes to Marsha P. Johnson, John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, the struggle in Ukraine, and a remembrance of the 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. Student musicians from the Decatur community – including singers from Johns Hill Magnet School and the Salvation Army Youth Band (directed by Millikin alumnus Kaream Williams) – will play along with Millikin faculty cello soloist Amy Catron. Decatur-native Rev. Courtney Carson will narrate. Join us to celebrate Black History Month with this powerful and uplifting program.
