With Heart and Voice ® Program 2602

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day became a national holiday in 1986 – forty years ago, with the first observance on January 20 that year. This year, the 40th annual observance comes on January 19, and on this program we’ll honor that day, with music of unity, peace, and celebrate music of African-American composers and performers, among others.
