WINANS DUO IN CONCERT

R&B and Gospel stars Bebe & Cece Winans will perform in concert at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts at Queens College in Flushing on Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012, at 8:00 p.m. in its Colden Auditorium.

The brother and sister powerhouse, who were awarded their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last October, have not scheduled any other concerts together in the New Year.

After two decades of hits, Bebe & Cece Winans have another huge success with “Still,” their first album together in 15 years, which has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and 11 Stellar Awards and is approaching gold sales status. The album features the Billboard chart-topping single “Close To You,” as well as the Grammy-nominated “Grace.”

In 2011, Bebe & Cece appeared on “Oprah,” “Good Morning America” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”

As a duo, BeBe and CeCe Winans’ accolades include three Grammy Awards, nine Dove Awards, two NAACP Image awards, two Soul Train Music Awards, numerous Stellar Awards, three gold albums, and one platinum album.

“The music of Bebe & Cece Winans represents a rich cultural heritage that is alive and well in Queens as well as the metropolitan area,” said Vivian Charlop, director of Kupferberg Center for the Arts at Queens College. “We are thrilled to present this concert.”

Kupferberg Center for the Arts is located on the Queens College campus between Exits 23 and 24 on the eastbound service road for the Long Island Expressway in Flushing.
