Ray Reach is writing arrangements for Henry Panion's "Gospel Symphony Celebration" concert at the BJCC

I'm currently finishing up arrangements for Dr. Henry Panion's "Gospel Symphony Celebration" concert at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center Concert Hall.  The concert will feature notable Gospel singers such as the Clark Sisters and Smokie Norful, accompanied by the Alabama Symphony Orchestra.  Writing for such a group is definitely a challenge, but lots of fun.  In addition to the ASO, the concert will feature a top notch rhythm section, including P J Spraggins (drums), Anthony Williams (piano) and Sean Michael Ray (bass).

The concert will take place at 7:00 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013.  Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com.
