CC Summer Music Festival: 'An Evening of Song in Honor of Peggy Shivers'

The Colorado College Summer Music Festival is an annual event held on the CC campus, connecting pre-professional musicians with preeminent performance faculty. The Festival will present more than 20 events during its 38th season, scheduled for June 5-24.

The first concert on the Festival schedule this year is “An Evening of Song in Honor of Peggy Shivers,” beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 7, in Packard Hall. The free ticketed event features the baritone “velvet voice” of opera star Brian Major.

Shivers, along with her late husband, Clarence Shivers, has touched countless lives in Colorado Springs — especially in the arts community. Concert goers should consider getting their free tickets in advance, as a full house is expected for a concert honoring the local musical legend and philanthropist.
