In celebration of MLK Jr. and the opening of the student exhibition, the Gordon Center will host The Melting Pot Band, a premier twenty-member jazz orchestra specializing in performing the pieces of Baltimore’s own Henry J. (Hank) Levy. Prior to the concert, SEED students will lead guests through the exhibit, and will perform spoken word and oratory during the concert.

Proceeds for the concert will support the SEED School, the Hank Levy Foundation and the Gordon Center for Performing Arts.
