Dr. King’s message is too grand for any one art form to fully express. Recognizing this, the Sinfonietta combines dance, gospel music, and orchestral pieces both ancient and modern in this joyful annual celebration. Sphinx competition winners Christina Castelli and Melissa White join us on violin, while the Deeply Rooted Dance Theater presents a World Premiere piece set to the music of Samuel Barber. Then, the Apostolic Church of God Sanctuary Choir will rock the house with their gospel fervor.
