Spencer Fane is pleased to announce a partnership with the Nashville Symphony for “MLK: A Celebration in Song,” as part of its 24th Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Fellowship Celebration. The inspiring concert features the Celebration Chorus, Celebration Youth Chorus, W. Crimm Singers, and four-time Grammy-nominated artist Mickey Guyton.
The celebration takes place Sunday, January 19, with a pre-concert reception at 6:15 p.m. and music beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville. Tickets will be free to the public due to the firm’s sponsorship of the event; reservations are still required.
Conductor Jonathan Taylor Rush will lead “a moving blend of classical, contemporary, and spiritual music that celebrates Dr. King’s enduring message of hope, equality, and justice.”
Spencer Fane attorneys Stacey Garrett Koju and Charles W. Bone organized the first MLK breakfast in 2002 and have fostered its significant growth since. Past featured speakers include the late Rev. C.T. Vivian, civil rights heroes Diane Nash and Bernard Lafayette, the late Freedom Rider Ernest “Rip” Patton, former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young, U.S. Senator Cory Booker, and former U.S. Congressman Harold Ford, Jr.
For more than two decades, the Annual MLK Day Fellowship Celebration has united the Nashville community to reflect upon the life and legacy of Dr. King and created a space to discuss ways the community can continue to work toward the realization of Dr. King’s global vision of the Beloved Community. This vision centers on human decency not allowing for poverty, hunger, or homelessness; sustaining a spirit of sisterhood and brotherhood that replaces discrimination, bigotry, and racism; and striving to build a society where justice prevails over war and conflict to progress social justice in our communities.
