with all. the fish in the pantheon of the great tennis certainly here's one for the ages. up. because tennis. starts july 10th on d. w. . bush and it was our. feet. to. be told i have

a very i. swear that. means harm you. will. at. least so to see an idea. it's a feeling that continues to live in in on some. of. the musical martin luther king

a dream changes the world has a cost of more than $1000.00 sing is that was the guiding principle of the produces the lutheran foundation creates huge change. zinah bloom to his famous i have a dream address was 16 minutes long so that i 13 minutes of which was a back number for you a speech he'd already given in june of 63 to union workers in detroit on pets and then suddenly he put aside his text and improvised for 3 minutes but i mean that was the speech of a lifetime is inspired destined in spirit to momenta. martin

luther king's tal martin luther king's dream wasn't his at all when i got to stay it was god's dream of how we should live together which you can read in the bible with equality and fairness in justice and freedom of movement and united in love wendy's and tom got this god turned this dream into political reality. and our message the message of my script that is this is a dream is utopia made real concrete to peace. issue. comes. a.

so many things i for one constructive singing is a very strong instrument in the life of faith as well as in motivating people that singing releases endorphins which encourage a sense of community it's very healthy. to mention guns guns fear and singing also provides an opportunity to communicate a message with passion. quite different from the spoken word. comes lunch after he . fought. soledad. weary and she felt works for the foundation created church she organizes the mass choir of untrained singers who performed the musical. a lot of the performers didn't have any experience of singing in a choir we noticed that in their applications they said i really need to practice we told them you're still welcome to come along and we'll practice together.

penc ok and her daughter anna a 2 of the singers who weren't able to rehearse with the co-op they practiced a ton by themselves for months using specially produced cd days then in a small choir and finally with the mass choir. on it i really like the songs and i think the show conveys a very important message for far this music good remark that before we did the musical i'd heard of martin luther king and of what he did but it didn't really affect my life however now i notice how exclusion and discrimination occur an every day life. i doubt in my job i work with marginal groups and i see it every day is that stick to sports but it's possible to change things if you seize the

opportunity and motivate other people to work with you large amounts of your quit some awful. like most of the 1200 amateur singers in the production class and his son christoph come from the rw a valid wage and. was pleased. my son is also performing like that when we practice together he would sing the 2nd part so that we could get used to choral singing on the road we also sang along with the sea day when i go out and it was on. sundays from near the pool we've now had many rehearsals with lots of singers but it's still overwhelming to sing with so many people just because i'm there for you the songs are very very to various themes and genres it's

a good mix and the songs are fun to sing. the choir is the essential element of this musical that was the producer's intention from the start be. the low. take up this impulse and that's the most impressive aspect is this enormous choir which will also be the case on tour we always have our sights set on a large choir and in this production the choir has a lot to sing and communicate also content. but of course we also have stars in the cast offs. professional singers who give the production its shape and he just took him. was the. was. i.

was. the. was. there. the soloists have only one week to rehearse. the 2 composes kristoff to boykin and honey present at the rehearsals. the journalist undressed melissa wrote the libretto. i had it there. i'm

especially grateful that we could sit down together right from the start silent and with the 1st demos and says i'm god but it happened now most interests as i'm new in an atmosphere of trust and deep friendship we could say to you well that doesn't sound right link me or mine what are you trying to say or is or is that theologically profound or just pious twaddle does sean flynn rubbish. christophe to boykin in his studio indecl golf this is where large sections of the musical were created in addition to composing songs to boy can arrange the music for the mass choir. we also recorded much of the music here everything except the large sanctions for

orchestra and choir. and certain of course we also use songs from the time of martin luther king there are a few spirituals that icky we shall overcome for instance obviously we had to incorporate that one everybody identifies it with him with this is. as a one. night hooper can i think live bigger curve gospel music was essential to martin luther king as an afro-american christian good for and for in a different era go to merely a jackson was a close family friend and she was one of the most influential gospel singers in the world together with james cleveland in a wreath of frankland for frank and for them and besides almost every gospel song i

can think of reflects what martin luther king himself preached really also the words that jesus spoke for instance if anyone strikes you on the right cheek turn the other also. of the vendor he went after. the message of don't resort to violence. if god exists let him act then the book of my. studio is in elms will new hamburg. christof stack of them by ship christophe strength is in string arrangements on the german base but he does that really well with soul music i'm more attuned to the keyboard and the choruses minds on coda. unusual for such

a large production the composers themselves perform. and what we wanted to playing with we would have felt miserable sitting on some chair and listening to how our music was being played through that's nice but it's even nicer to play it. just and i think what i want to read that i read the music together with it's a baby i think i can control it best if i'm out there on stage. and my love i've got a road to. the side i think it's one of the most powerful songs because the choir really moves with it and sings with real passion chuffed after i left.

i think about this song has wonderful energy and that's what i love about gospel music that's in gospel it's. just music of martin luther king musical the dream changes the world starts with the assassination of martin luther king on april the 4th 1968 and tells the story of his life in flashbacks the memories of his fellow activists from 50 guy lots so now because we highlight 4 or 5 important events in his life freely interpret them to make the point that address. it's not the same thing as an illusion that it was your. the dutch singing artist gino m. this place the role of martin luther king.

and he simply martin luther king that song and then you realize that he's human like the rest of us i meant he has his lumps and bumps and his faults and we also show those in the musical stuck. in. the german opera and musical director andreea scared can has directed the production. in the surprise we see in our musical choral musical is the person who also has doubts. and is also a bit ego to stick up. and. he subordinates the dreams and needs of the people around him to his own great visions.

he follows his own path and without wavering even if it means sacrificing others on the way. but i know that in the corrector for instance who has to give up her great dream of an operatic career somebody through the course and. and of course it's an open question whether she would ever have become a great opera singer but martin luther king can be grateful that she renounced her career to become a small town pastor's wife climbed up the past 2 and fall surveyor. the role of correction scott king is played by the dutch actress and singer petit fan defender. if it had been

me i would probably have decided in favor of a singing career and not have married the baptist pastor better known as martin luther king. some come to us martin luther king but that's me i didn't grow up as an afro-american woman in the sixty's. well it's easy enough to say i would have done things differently maybe she didn't have the opportunity perhaps it was too dangerous to live certain dreams. martin luther king's political activism was certainly dangerous to his marriage and his family. for i was surprised by martin luther king's recklessness that at the age of 39 he got used to the idea of bomb attacks on his home that his family received death threats almost every day and still he carried on. on the one hand that's reckless

on the other hand vital passion. it really shocked me but it also challenged me not to make weak fatalistic decisions in my faith make he could have made a bad decision but instead he said i'm going to invest a lot in one thing and i want to be more courageous i want to be clear i have challenged myself. in this regard i have to say martin luther king has become a role model for me increasingly so during this period of thought. he was 39 when he was assassinated when i started writing the script when i was 38 that is to say shortly before the age at which he dialed when you see what reprisals the man faced he certainly suffered from and he struggled mightily for what he believed he had a family i also have a family he's suffered a lot also made his family suffer

a lot. that i see the parallels and that makes me share his pain a bit especially at the present time in the world seems to be in such turmoil and the issue is current again when. i think one feels his pain. when i have interim it to finish up was the santa. rosa parks is a hero alongside dr king in a musical and in reality she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white person this led to the famous montgomery bus boycott a seminal event in the civil rights movement was for bit. is that she's the kind of role model that i want to see everywhere fun and of

including in my own life if me a venture. in the hour and i wake up in the morning and think. how would rose go out into this world would she get upset about every trivial thing here this would have or would she stay focused and don't her mission in life. that the. heat. was. there guy's got to sort of make the spirit of god should mold me from the inside

with my characteristics and my past into something wonderful for others and yeah that was what happened to martin luther king his experience of being called was very prosaic and he looked through the window of a bus shelter and saw how black people were being made to stand at the back while the seats up front were reserved for white folks is that as of it is it that annoyed him and he asked himself what will happen if we don't take the bus and as it was one of the 1st trade boycotts in the western world who read that is our common humanity which made it so sensitive to the sufferings of warmer now over. in september $964.00 martin luther king came to the divided city of girl in which he also visited the communist east. good evening your passport is easy your sheet my. look here's my name america and here it says america i'm an american and the next 2 americans express american express their.

x. it's. for show care thank you enjoy your visit i got. does i guess reader i have to say that that's a moment of magic isn't it a poor little border guard makes a mistake which enables an american without a passport to go to the church on alexander blogs or thousands are waiting for him in my legs and it's incredibles and elf involved and off and on. the church of the virgin in what was then the communist east thousands of east berlin is waiting for him it wasn't an official visit he had received an informal invitation from the protestant church. the crowds was so huge that a 2nd event was held at another church in downtown belin. i've

met a number of dissidents and christians who took part in the protests of 989 that led to the fall of the berlin wall and they told me. the seat of our activism our perseverance our courage to stick it out in communist east germany and to hope and belief and we received from king on september the 13th 1964 king i'm tied to that time i feel unsafe because he. did musical blends reality and fiction some historical figures like malcolm x. i introduced anachronistically and the holy spirit played by a woman is a bit of poetic license. catechized than the holy spirit is martin luther king's inspiration and to sing with of course she's closely connected to his faith and enables him in spite of the aggression he encounters to respond with love and with nonviolence i supplied.

her. i was. of the day their idea of casting a woman in the role of the holy spirit wasn't a nod to feminism it's rooted in the bible god says in the old testament as a mother comforts her child so will i comfort you was that the lutheran foundation created church has its headquarters in witan a university town in western germany the foundation's main aim is to promote singing with small projects and in large stage productions the choral musical martin luther king has been performed 3 times this year it's. double premiere was

staged in february and at the end of june it was performed at the german evangelical churches annual convention. a nationwide tour is planned for next year . the 20th 5000 something you'll be performing in 11 towns and 2020 with more than 10000 singers taking part of what we continue to look for new singers the 1st projects have been well received they're already fully booked the big time people like to take part and we see new people responding volunteering to sing for people who've never sung in a choir before and maybe have never had anything to do with the church. because of the large number of participants to premie as was staged on 2 separate evenings with $1200.00 singers at each performance i.

think the premises were a triumph. at the evangelical churches annual convention the musical was also well received here in dortmund 2000 singers took passage thomas clouse and his son christophe among them. i was. kind of marvelous i thought it was great singing with and for so many people it was a great atmosphere with you know i thought of it as yeah it was great fun of the show was sometimes very moving sometimes jazzing it it has great appeal and everything was great talking.
