Willie T. Summerville graduated from the University of Illinois in 1967 with a Master’s Degree in Music Education. He played tuba with the Marching Illini. His first job was with Champaign Public Schools until 1970 when he became the Choral Music Director of the Middle School (Brookens Junior High School) for the 7-9th Grade Chorus Programs in the Urbana School District. He was also the Director of the Urbana High School Concert Choir. He took that choir to Rome to sing at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican in 1999. In 2002, he took the Urbana High School Choir to NYC where they sang at Riverside Church and Carnegie Hall. He was a founding member of Canaan Missionary Baptist Church and a charter member of the Deacon Board and treasurer of the Canaan Development Foundation that supports Canaan Academy located in Urbana. In 2017, he celebrated directing St. Luke’s choir for 50 years. We miss him.

Thank you to the University of Illinois for the use of this photograph and information about Mr. Summerville.
