The Cleveland Orchestra,
conducted by Chelsea Tipton, will perform its 34th annual concert in
celebration of the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. The concert will
feature the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus (a 165-member
volunteer chorus from the greater Cleveland community), prepared by William Henry Caldwell, and Sphinx Competition prizewinner Lev Mamuya as cello soloist.
At the beginning of the concert, Mayor Frank Jackson,
assisted by Cleveland Councilman Kevin Conwell and Cuyahoga County
Councilwoman Yvonne Conwell, will present the 2014 MLK Community Service
Awards in three categories in recognition of the services and
achievements of an adult, a youth, and a business or organization that
have positively impacted Cleveland in the spirit of the teachings and
example of Dr. King. The free concert (tickets are required) is sold
out, and will be broadcast live on WCLV (104.9 FM) and WCPN (90.3 FM).
The Cleveland Orchestra's annual MLK concert draws more than 2,000 members of the community to Severance Hall to celebrate Dr. King.
