On an ordinary night... an extraordinary event occurred in Birmingham, Alabama. The Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center, at The University of Alabama at Birmingham, was a buzz with excitement as the magnificent sound of the 60-piece GGC Symphony Orchestra and hundred-voice mass choir filled the hall. Juanita Bynum and Jonathan Butler, two of the most gifted artists in music, took the stage to bring fans Gospel Goes Classical, an evening of praise, inspiration and encouragement.
Anointed minister, author and singer Bynum was joined by contemporary Jazz and Gospel artist Butler to share new songs and fan favorites in classical music splendor. The orchestra and choir were led by renown arranger/conductor, Dr. Henry Panion, III (Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, The Winans). The extraordinary live performances of Bynum's “One Night With The King” and “Holy Lamb,” and Butler's "Falling In Love With Jesus" and "Don't You Worry," were capped off with a very special duet of the worshipful declaration of dependence on the Lord, "I Don't Mind Waiting."
