Happy 80th Birthday George Shirley!
Dear Colleague,
George Shirley will be celebrating a milestone -his 80th birthday in
April of 2014. Two events are being planned in Michigan to honor
this extraordinary artist, teacher and humanitarian. At his
request, I am sending you his letter and invitation for the event on
April 12th. In lieu of gifts, he requests your support for The
George Shirley African American Art Song and Operatic Aria
Competition for high school and undergraduate students.
If you are able, we hope you will purchase a ticket and join in the
celebration on April 12th at The Charles Wright African American
Museum in Detroit, Michigan.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Louise Toppin
Dr. Louise Toppin
Director of Videmus
