Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Through Music | University of Denver (2020)

In a musical celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, a group of students and one alumna from the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music will take the stage at Denver's Dazzle jazz club on Monday January 20, 2020 to play a selection of songs by black classical composers.

Violinist Ana Luna Uribe and violoncellist Katherine Smith, both graduate students, sophomore violinist Olasuyi Ige and violist Silvana Ferrarin, a Lamont alumna, have been rehearsing the string-quartet repertoire since early December 2019.

Part of a regular Monday-night chamber-music series at Dazzle, the show is part of an effort by the club to spotlight student musicians. It’s an opportunity the Lamont players welcome as they prepare for their post-university careers.
