Anne Murray to Perform at Westminster College

Posted on Friday, October 11, 2002

The Westminster College Celebrity Series presents Anne Murray in concert Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.

Throughout her career, Murray has recorded songs that have warmed hearts, enriched spirits, and brought comfort to millions. Her hits include "You Needed Me," "Could I have This Dance," "A Love Song," and "I Just Fall in Love Again." She brings new meaning to vintage songs such as "Whispering Hope," "How Great Thou Art," "Jacob's Ladder," and "Amazing Grace."

"I've been influenced by gospel music since early on in my life," said Murray. "I grew up with a black family who came over to my house twice a week, and they taught me these songs. But hymns weren't part of my life because I was raised Catholic, singing in Latin, so this was new' material for me. I approached it that way, and I was really quite moved."
