When the power of the human voice meets the spirit of community and the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the result is guaranteed to be joyous and inspiring—as thousands of Living the Dream attendees over the years can attest. Join us as the combined Men, Women, and Children of the Gospel choirs of Washington Performing Arts, and the Choral Arts Chorus raise their voices in tribute both to Dr. King’s achievements and to his ongoing, indelible impact. Through song, inspirational stories, and special tributes by community leaders, Living the Dream…Singing the Dream ​unites all who honor Dr. King’s ideals.

This performance is co-presented with The Choral Arts Society of Washington.

Washington Performing Arts 60th anniversary year is generously sponsored by Dr. Gary Mather † and Ms. Christina Co Mather.

This performance is made possible in part by the generous support of Trista Colbert.
