The Shivers Concert Series presents its next concert – An Evening of Inspirational Word and Song – on Sun., Aug. 31, at 4 p.m. at Colorado College’s Packard Hall (5 W. Cache La Poudre St.).
While concerts in the Shivers Concert Series are usually ticketed fundraising events, there is no cost to attend this Shivers Concert Series concert. Donations are welcome and appreciated.
The Shivers Concert Series has been raising funds to support local culture and arts for 32 years. These concerts benefit the Shivers Fund at PPLD started by Peggy and Clarence Shivers, which contributes to the African American collection at Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD), awards grants and scholarships to students, and encourages young people to pursue their interests in the arts.
The concert features storyteller and reenactor Becky Stone, soprano vocalist Ciera Bowens, and the Sankey Sisters Quartet.
After the concert, there will be a book signing of I Wanted to be a Pilot: The Making of a Tuskegee Airman and Red Tail, A Tuskegee Airman’s Rendezvous with Destiny, as well as a reception sponsored by Tiemens Foundation.
If you are unable to attend but would like to donate to the Shivers Fund, visit the Shivers Fund donation page.
