BeBe CeCe Winans Host 40th Stellar Gospel Awards Nashville

The 40th Stellar Gospel Music Awards will be held on August 16, 2025, at Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center, hosted by the legendary GRAMMY-winning sibling duo BeBe and CeCe Winans. This milestone event, themed "OUR MUSIC, OUR VOICE, OUR CULTURE," celebrates four decades of gospel music, featuring performances by both established stars and rising talents such as Donnie McClurkin, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, and Jekalyn Carr. BeBe and CeCe, who rose to fame in the 1980s and have won multiple prestigious awards, view hosting the ceremony as a spiritual milestone and an opportunity to inspire hope through gospel music. CeCe, nominated for eight awards herself, emphasized the faithfulness of God and the importance of gospel music as a source of encouragement in challenging times. Ahead of the awards, the Stellar PLUS experience will offer immersive events for fans and industry insiders, including a nominee pre-show dinner at the National Museum of African American Music. The event marks a significant return to Nashville for the awards after years in other cities and highlights the enduring legacy and evolution of gospel music.
