SUMMARY:Sounds of Blackness' "Music for Martin" at the Ordway
DESCRIPTION:Three-time Grammy-winning ensemble presents an original tribute to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\nMusic for Martin brings the Grammy Award–winning Sounds of Blackness back to the Ordway with one of their most powerful and enduring original works. First premiering on our stage in January 1988\, this production was created\, arranged\, and produced by Gary Hines\, Music Director of Sounds of Blackness\, specifically for a performance at the Ordway. It weaves together music\, narration\, and visual elements to honor the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. \nDrawing from the music that fueled the Civil Rights Movement\, Music for Martin features stylized arrangements rooted in gospel\, spirituals\, soul\, and jazz\, paired with excerpts from Dr. King’s most iconic speeches. The result is both a historical reflection and a living\, breathing call to hope\, unity\, love\, and peace. \nFor over five decades\, Sounds of Blackness has shared these messages on five continents\, performing for everyone from community audiences to world leaders\, including kings\, queens\, presidents\, and ambassadors. As the ensemble celebrates its 55th anniversary\, Music for Martin stands as a testament to their artistic excellence\, cultural impact\, and deep connection to both the Ordway and the Twin Cities community.
