Sixth & I
Washington, D.C., has given the music world some of the most transcendent voices in American music. Longtime Washington Performing Arts Children of the Gospel Choir music director and accompanist, producer, educator, and DMV-area luminary Anthony “Tony” Walker leads an evening celebrating the legendary Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, Donnie Hathaway, and Richard Smallwood, whose roots in D.C.’s Black communities helped shape the sound of a nation. Part concert, part storytelling, the evening weaves the music and the stories together to celebrate the people and places behind the songs you know by heart.
