FREE MLK Concert- Sunday, January 18th at 3pm
Dover, Delaware – Sunday, January 18, 2026, the Dover Hope Zone will co-host a FREE concert in recognition of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day at 3pm featuring Elevation. The MLK Concert is co-hosted in partnership with the Delaware NAACP State Conference of Branches, The historic Calvary Baptist Church, The Well Church, Mt. Zion AME Church, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Epsilon Iota Omega Chapter and the Wesley Foundation at Delaware State University.
Elevate Vocal Arts flagship, an all-professional performing ensemble, Elevation, is Delaware’s only professional vocal ensemble. Elevation performances fuse traditional, classical choral music with jazz, hip-hop, R&B, storytelling, and spoken word. Unique to our model and our repertoire, we consider the vocal arts to be more than just singing and are inclusive of the many ways the human voice is used in creative and artistic expressions.
Elevation self-produces performances throughout Delaware annually. Performances are produced in New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County. In addition to these self-produced concerts, Elevation is presented by colleges and universities, arts and culture venues, and houses of worship.
More than just performers, Elevation’s Vocal Artists mentor our Vocal Arts Apprentices and support Delaware arts educator professional development and school-based residencies.
