NEWjr returned for a seventh year as Music Director, premiering two new compositions commissioned by Georgetown University: a new setting of a rare spiritual, I'm Going to Do All I Can, adapted from an early score published by John Work in 1915, and a pop ballad, I am the Dream, with lyrics appropriately adapted from the speeches of Martin King and President Obama.
The program also included a presentation of the 2010 Legacy of a Dream Award to Dekembe Mtumbo for his humanitarianism and philanthropy.
