LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Former President Bill Clinton will debut with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra on the March 25 program "Let Freedom Ring," a celebration of the American spirit that pays tribute to the seven Columbia astronauts.
Clinton will narrate Aaron Copland's "Lincoln Portrait," which includes excerpts from speeches by Abraham Lincoln, and will narrate "Let Freedom Ring," Alexander Miller's symphonic setting of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
The orchestra will perform Gustav Holst's "Jupiter," the fourth movement of Holst's seven-movement suite "The Planets," to honor the astronauts who died when the space shuttle Columbia broke apart before landing on Feb. 1.
Foreman native Lawrence Hamilton, star of Broadway's "Ragtime," will make a special appearance in a program that includes George Gershwin's "An American in Paris."
The one-night-only performance will benefit the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation.
Tickets start at $30 and go on sale Feb. 24 through the ASO box office.
