Our 2015 concert, entitled "Walk Together",
commemorates the 50th anniversary year of the passage of the Voting
Rights Act. This program pays homage in music to the life and legacy of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We will present music composed in his honor
by Valerie Capers, Lena McLin, and Joshua McGhee. AACI gratefully
acknowledges the Musical Grant Program of the San Francisco Friends of
Chamber Music for providing a grant to commission a new composition by
McGhee.
The
program will include a wide range of music, drawing from the traditions
of spirituals, freedom songs, jazz, and classical styles.
These concerts are made possible by contributions from you. Thank you so
much to all of you who donated to our matching grant campaign in
December. We met our goal! All proceeds from concert ticket sales will
benefit Eastside College Preparatory School.
