The nationally renowned Brotherhood Chorale of the Apostolic Church of God will present its ninth annual free concert honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The program will also feature Music Institute of Chicago (MIC) students who have received financial support through the William Warfield Memorial Scholarship Fund. The performance takes place Sunday, Jan. 20th at 5 pm at MIC's Nichols Concert Hall, 1490 Chicago Ave., Evanston.
The all-male Brotherhood Chorale, founded in 1969 with less than 30 members, has built an impressive repertoire and grown to 180 members under the direction of conductor Brian Rice. In addition to its annual performances at MIC, the choir has been featured at the South Shore Cultural Center and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. The choir also performs every fourth Sunday for service at the Apostolic Church of God.
