Chicago Sinfonietta Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Mei-Ann Chen leads her third Wentz Concert Hall tribute to the civil rights leader with help from Nicole Cash, an associate principal horn of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. Destiny inspires Chen's dynamic direction of symphonic masterworks, before paying tribute to Dr. King with avant pop composer JacobTV's thought-provoking multimedia work, "Mountaintop." The inspiring and uplifting show ends with the powerful voices of a massive Apostolic Church of God Sanctuary Choir connecting heaven and Earth in the spirit of fellowship. The program for the evening includes Verdi's Overture from "La Forza del Destino," Strauss’ Horn Concerto No. 1 and arrangements of gospel and spiritual songs. Part of our Classical Series.
