Concert -- Dr. Martin Luther King Tribute 

Strength to Love was a compilation of sermons presented by Dr. Martin Luther King and released in 1963.  Wrote Dr. King:  "Man can think a poem and write it...He can think a symphony and compose it...He can think of a great civilization and produce it. He can be a Handel moving into the highest heavens and transcribing the glad thunders and gentle sighings of the great Messiah. By his ability to reason, his power and memory, and his gift of imagination, man transcends time and space. As marvelous as are the stars, as great as is Handel's Messiah...is the mind of the man that studies them." --Martin Luther King

Join us for a special tribute in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King's vision for the future, in a concert entitled "The Strength to Love -- A Unity Concert". The program will include African-American spirituals and pieces by Brahms, Verdi and Handel, and will feature the Roland Hayes' song cycle "The Life of Christ".
