An original symphonic concert by Grammy Award-winning pianist & composer Ramsey Lewis about the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln. This multi-media program includes a 22-piece orchestra with vocalist Dee Alexander, and stunning historical images that serve to inspire reflection and hope with the audience. The concert captures Ramsey's musical style which combines his deep knowledge of jazz along with his passion for gospel and classical music. Composed by Mr. Lewis and scored by Scott Hall, the work honors the life of Abraham Lincoln as the country's 16th, and perhaps, greatest president. This extraordinary concert was produced in November 2010 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC
