The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commission of the Virginia General Assembly and the Richmond Symphony will present a public concert on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. at Richmond CenterStage's Carpenter Theater, 600 East Grace Street, Richmond, Virginia, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The concert is one of the signature events of the Commission's celebration of this historic event.

Led by the Richmond Symphony’s Music Director Steven Smith, the choral and orchestral production will tell the story of Emancipation in historical context, feature national and state luminaries and music written during and after the Civil War period by nationally-acclaimed Virginia composers and artists, reflect the turbulent times in the nation’s history, illuminate the perseverance of the human spirit, and celebrate freedom and liberation. A highlight of the performance will be a 200-strong mass choir assembled especially for the occasion from among college and university choral groups across the Commonwealth, together with members of Richmond’s One Voice Chorus and the Richmond Symphony Chorus.
