A King Celebration 2013
On the holiday named for Martin Luther King, Jr., we'll remember Dr. King's legacy with music. We'll feature conductor Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony in a very special concert in honor of Dr. King. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma was there, playing the Dvorak Cello Concerto. Plus, music written in honor of Dr. King by Duke Ellington, from a concert in Buffalo, New York.
