On Thursday, September 29, the Main Library will be hosting a birthday celebration of Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi—13th Century Persian poet and mystic philosopher whose writing continues to be studied and honored worldwide. Whether you’re a newcomer to his work or a longtime admirer, we hope you will join us for an evening of poetry, conversation, Persian desserts, and tea. Everyone is welcome to bring a Rumi poem to share.
7 p.m. Morrison Center. Premier Productions present Bill Gaither and the Gaither Vocal Band. Discounted tickets are available for seniors 60+ and children 12 and under in the “reserved” seating area, floor rows I-Z and mezzanine rows I-N. A full evening of entertainment and meaningful music is a rare treat anytime, but when the occasion includes the best-loved voices in gospel music … it’s a must-see celebration! The Gaither Vocal Band, featuring the all-star line-up of David Phelps, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Bill Gaither, will share timeless gospel classics, as well as refreshing, inspiring new favorites embraced by audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Few events have the ability to unite individuals from all walks of life the way Gaither concerts do. If you attend just one musical event this year, an evening with the Gaither Vocal Band is one you can’t miss. It will leave you encouraged, grateful and most certainly smiling.
