Petersburg Chapter, The Links, Inc., Presents…

TBR — Richmond, VA – It’s always a treat to catch up with and hear the multi-talented Virginia State University Gospel Choral, however on Sunday afternoon, the choir truly out did itself. Performing as the special guest for the Petersburg Chapter, The Links, Inc., these talented college students delivered a powerful musical presentation that left many standing on their feet. However that’s nothing new for the choir that recently toured 5 countries across Europe and became semi-finalist last year with America’s Got Talent.

They are extremely talented and have become a favorite when named on any concert line up.

Currently, choir is lead by Mr. James Holden., Jr., – Faulty Advisor and Director, Mr. Mark Johnson – Music Director, Mr. Perry Evans – Choir Director, Ms. Javan Jefferson and Mr. Michael Rainey, Business Manager.

This 4:00p.m. concert would also mark the first benefit concert by the Links for the Endowment Fund for Virginia State University.

The choir performed back to back Gospel favorites including “Every Praise”, “Can’t Stop Praising His Name”, “He’s Sweet I Know”, ‘Total Praise”, “Make Like Him”, “Trust Me”, “He Turned It” and “Oh Happy Day”

Gospel recording artist Chiquita Cross was also featured on the program as a guest solo performer, as well as being invited by her Alma mater to sing the lead to three songs. She was awesome!

After a short intermission a special presentation by the choir was presented by Dr. Andrew Kanu, VSU Dean of the College of Humanities and Ms. Bailey to Mr. Holden for 22 years of service.

This ticket invited was worth every penny, with a job well done by the Petersburg Chapter, The Links and Ms. Anita Wynn, Event Coordinator for the afternoon concert.

Emceeing the evening was Sheilah Belle, The Belle.
