PAST EVENTS

Bayard Rustin: the Man Behind the Dream

Thursday 4/21 at 8pmET / 5pmPT
(encore) Sunday 4/24 at 3pmET / 12pmPT

Join GALA for a special presentation of Bayard Rustin: the Man Behind the Dream composed by Steve Milloy and performed by One Voice Mixed Chorus, Minnesota's LGBTQ and straight allies chorus. This 2017 commission honors the life and work of openly gay African American civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, who was a mentor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The work is composed for chorus, two actor/Story-Guides, and a five-piece band. It culminates with the 1963 March on Washington which Rustin organized. Listen as Milloy artfully weaves together Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech and the work of current day Black Lives Matter activists.
