Gospel Music from 'Passages of Martin Luther King'

 

Program Overview

Direct from the National Theatre of China in Beijing

“...Passages of Martin Luther King has an important message for China and for people everywhere, because it shows that a great leader is also a human being like the rest of us. The play tells us that even ordinary people can do extraordinary things.”

The life affirming pulse of the gospel music performed in the show amplifies that same message of hope and humanity.
