Porter’s Call To Present Peter York With Founders Award

Peter York

Porter’s Call will present industry veteran Peter York with this year’s Founders Award during its 15th annual “Evening of Stories” on Tuesday, Aug. 27 at Belmont University’s Fisher Center for Performing Arts.

Sponsored by Capitol Christian Music Group and UMG Nashville, the award recognizes an individual whose purpose, compassion and persistence have changed the community. The nonprofit’s Founder Al Andrews was honored with the inaugural award last year prior to his retirement this spring.

For over three decades, York led Capitol Christian Music Group and its predecessor companies as Chairman & CEO. He has developed talent such as TobyMac, Switchfoot, Chris Tomlin, Steven Curtis Chapman, BeBe & CeCe Winans and Amy Grant, and A&R-ed more than 100 Gold-certified albums. York also played guitar on records for Phil Keaggy, Michael Omartian and others in the mid-1970s.

As previously announced, the event will feature award-winning artist Trisha Yearwood and poet, author and Yale University professor Christian Wiman as storytellers as well as musical guests Kyshona, Tommy Prine and Natalie Hemby.

Individual tickets are available now. For more information, click here.
