MUSIC FOR MARTIN--A Youthful Appreciation
This is the seventh year of Music For Martin, a community's tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The program will be presented this Sunday, February 22 at 3:30 PM at Grace Lutheran Church, 1300 Kishwaukee Valley Road in Woodstock.
Ken West is back as the dedicated coordinator of this outstanding event. As usual, the emphasis will be on young people presenting short biographies of people working in the tradition of Dr. King as well as 10 musical numbers.
Each song reflects a facet of Dr. King's philosophy. There is a song about the need for non-violent solutions and another asking living ones beliefs, not just talking about them. Some songs were written especially for the event. Poets and dancers will also contribute to the program and a local artist will paint an original picture on stage while the show unfolds.
The program is free and open to the public.
