Choir to perform during the annual Kennedy Center event on January 15, 2007 to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.    Traditionally, an acclaimed musical artist has performed as part of the Kennedy Center's daily free Millennium Stage performance.  Past celebrity artists have included Roberta Flack (2003), Jessye Norman (2004), Aaron Neville (2005) and Yolanda Adams (2006), and Brian McKnight (2007).   In January 2005, Georgetown University choirs had the great honor of singing for President George and Mrs. Laura Bush, along with "Legacy of a Dream" award recepients, then-Secretary of State Colin and Mrs. Alma Powell.
