Big Bethel AME Church Palm Sunday Concert

For over sixty years, Usherette Board #2 of Big
Bethel A. M. E. Church has led the “ushering in” of Holy/Passion Week by
presenting its annual Palm Sunday Concert. 
This year is no exception as it presents the multi-talented Uzee Brown Society of Choraliers.

The Uzee Brown Society of Choraliers is ranked
as a top performing group and one to be immolated. This group is admired both
nationally and internationally.  The Uzee
Brown Society of Choraliers will be presented in concert on Palm Sunday, April
20, 2014, at Big Bethel A.M. E. Church, 220 Auburn Avenue, at 5:00P.M.

The Uzee Brown Society of Choraliers was founded by Uzee Brown, Jr., who is an educator, composer/arranger, performer and chair of
the Morehouse College Department of Music. He has enjoyed a diverse career in music that
has taken him to more than seventeen countries, including Italy, Germany,
France, Switzerland, Poland, Russia, Luxembourg, Spain, five countries of
Africa and the Caribbean. 

Uzee Brown Society of Choraliers began in the fall, 2009, assembled by Uzee Brown, Jr. for the primary
purpose of completing a multi-media recording project of Tikvah (a Hebrew word
meaning Hope), based on the life and writings of a surviving Jewish holocaust victim,
Philip Markowicz, with music by award-winning American composer,
Burton Beerman.

Included among his many performances in opera
and oratorio are world premier roles of Alltalk
Parson in the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s premier of Scott
Joplin’s Treemonisha, the title role of King Solomon in
Emory University Theater’s premier production, the Alliance Theater’s showcase
production of Jubilee and the performance of Mr. Letter law in the 2000 premier of Curtis Bryant’s
operatic work, Zabette. 

Big Bethel continues to play an important role
in transforming the lives of others and enhancing its community. Big Bethel
constructed Bethel Towers, low income housing apartments, and Big Bethel
Village, an independent living facility for aging but active adults;
established Bethel Trinity House, a transitional housing and rehabilitation
program for men from alcohol and drug addiction; and cooperated with the
Integral Group to build “Renaissance Walk” on Auburn Avenue, a community of
upscale condominiums and retail establishments. 
The Big Bethel church ministry is led by Rev. Dr. John Foster, Senior
Pastor.
