Freedom Rings With GMS On PBS

This year’s Gospel Meets Symphony concert had its television debut Monday evening on Western Reserve PBS (formerly Channel 45/49).

The program captures Maestro Wilkins leading the combined orchestra and the 200-voice volunteer choir from over 50 area churches. It also features Charles J. Myricks, a local composer and minister at Arlington Church of God, who conducts several of his own works. Other works featured include “Verdi Va Pensiero,” “This Morning When I Rose” and “Ride On, King Jesus.” Gospel Meets Symphony: Let Freedom Ring! will be made available for broadcast to the nation’s 355 other public television stations in May 2009.

If you missed Monday’s premiere, it will repeat on Sunday, April 12 at 7 p.m. and Monday, April 13 at 1 a.m. From February’s documentary (Celebrating 16 Years) to a phenomenal live show and now the concert broadcast, it has truly been a banner year for spreading the Gospel!
