Living the Dream…Singing the Dream has been rescheduled from January 30 to April 10, 2022 out of an abundance of caution related to the coronavirus Omicron variant. The long-running, ever-popular tribute to the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. returns to the Kennedy Center as the combined choirs of Washington Performing Arts Gospel Choirs and Choral Arts celebrate the power of music, collaboration, and the human spirit. The program transcends race, age, and gender to unite all who honor his ideals with songs like You’re the Lifter, My Soul’s Been Anchored, Why Do We Sing, and the world premiere of Nolan Williams’ We are the ones to heal our land.

Co-presented by the Choral Arts Society of Washington and Washington Performing Arts.
