The Cincinnati, Martin Luther King Coalition Chorale is calling for singers. The MLKCC welcomes women and men of all ages, races, and diverse beliefs from area churches, mosques, synagogues, and choral groups to gather and sing together in honor of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Coalition rehearses every other Tuesday from October 2005 through January 2006 at House of Joy and will perform in the King Day Program at Music Hall on January 16, 2006. The first rehearsal, held Tuesday, October 11, drew 100 singers, and the Coalition hopes to increase its membership on Tuesday, 10/25.
Rehearsals are held from 7-9pm at House of Joy (5918 Hamilton Avenue in College Hill) on the following dates:
Tuesday, December 6
Tuesday, December 20
Tuesday, January 3
Tuesday, January 10
Saturday, January 14 (Dress Rehearsal from 10:00am to 12:00pm)
Performence, January 16 at Cincinnati Music Hall
MLKCC Director, Dr. Catherine Roma, who teaches Arts for Peace and Justice at Wilmington College, says, “I choose articles and essays by or about King, and each semester I remain amazed how his prophetic words work so profoundly for our present times….[The Coalition] coming together to sing means so much to me in these times of great challenge and national turmoil.”
According to Dr. Roma, “Many [Coalition members] have expressed deep joy that comes as we set aside a few hours from our busy lives, demanding work schedules, varied religious backgrounds and beliefs, and divergent neighborhoods to sing and honor the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”
Quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"We must demonstrate, teach, and preach, until the very foundations of our nation are shaken. We must work unceasingly to lift this nation that we love to a higher destiny, to a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble _expression of humaneness."
"Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear; only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it."
