In 2017, I was part of a beautiful collaborative project with soprano Alexandra Whitfield, poet Regie Gibson, Lexington musicians, and 4 other composers to create an hour-long concert inspired by the words of Martin Luther King. The experience is like a church service, with Regie Gibson's reflections on the themes of Dr. King's life.
My contribution is "Sweet Princesses (Birmingham 1963)" for soprano and string trio, inspired by Dr. King's eulogy for the girls who died in the Birmingham church bombing.
