DESCRIPTION:DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE\nRequiem for a King\n\nComposed by Anthony 
 Brown\nSpoken Word Performance by Angela Davis\n\nMusic Performed by 
 \nAnthony Brown's Asian American Orchestra \nVoices of A Dream\n\nFifth 
 Stream Music and the San Francisco International Arts Festival are 
 delighted to present the world premiere of DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE Requiem 
 for a King composed by Anthony Brown with original spoken word by Angela 
 Davis performed by the Asian American Orchestra and vocal ensemble Voices 
 of A Dream.\n\nDOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE honors the life of Reverend and 
 activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the legacy of the civil rights 
 movement he led.\n\nOn April 4, 1967, Dr. King delivered his most 
 controversial speech, "Beyond Vietnam-A Time to Break Silence" at the 
 Riverside Church in New York City.  This prescient speech, which in no 
 uncertain terms denounced the morality of the Vietnam War and our nation's 
 violent military role around the world, evoked strong negative reactions in 
 the media and mainstream America.  Even fellow civil rights leaders turned 
 against King, questioning his patriotism and wisdom in speaking out. One 
 year later to the day, on April 4, 1968, Dr. King was assassinated in 
 Memphis, Tennessee.\n\n"We are honored to present the world premiere of Dr. 
 Anthony Brown's DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE Requiem for a King as the thematic 
 focus and headlining event of the 2018 SF International Arts Festival. With 
 original spoken word performed by Angela Davis, DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE 
 inspires Americans to reflect on the issues Dr. King confronted that are 
 still manifest within today's society." --Andrew Wood, Executive Director, 
 SF International Arts Festival\n\n$25-$65.\n
