Since 2012 Every Voice Choirs has presented an annual Peace Seekers concert during the week in which our nation celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In our first Peace Seekers concert, we honored Dr. King and four fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureates. The following year, we presented the EVC Peace Seeker award to Ms. Leila Zerrougui, the United Nations Special Representative for Children in Armed Conflict. After that, we turned our focus to exploring what the children of EVC saw as their roles working toward peace and justice, featuring original songs by the Youth Choir, written in response to civil rights issues of the time. This year, we turn our focus back to Dr. King and to expressions of hope for the future as expressed by poets such as Langston Hughes and Paul Laurence Dunbar.
Featuring the four ensembles of Every Voice Choirs with special guests The Teachers College Community Choir, Nicole Becker, Director; and Singers Workshops at TC, Jeanne Goffi-Fynn, Director.
