Symphony of Brotherhood: Celebrating the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Julian Kuerti, Conductor

With the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra

“With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation to a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.” So said Dr. King in a speech given in 1963 in Kalamazoo’s Miller Auditorium.

The arts community joins together to honor his life and legacy. Featuring a side-by-side performance with the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra, this concert embodies music as a unifying force in our community.
