Bridging Musical Worlds–A Celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. is an annual MLK Day tradition in Charlotte that brings together music from many musical traditions, including jazz, classical, R&B and more.
This event will be a powerful evening of music, memory, and meaning that honors the enduring legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., while remembering the extraordinary life and gift of Attorney James E. Ferguson, II.
This year’s theme, “Y’all Keep Working…”, drawn from Attorney Ferguson’s own words, calls us to reflection and action—reminding us that justice, culture, and community require sustained commitment.
Bridging Musical Worlds takes place on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at 4 p.m., at Friendship Missionary Conference Center, 3400 Beatties Ford Road, in Charlotte’s Historic West Side.
Tickets are $15. Children 12 and under are admitted for free. Purchase here.
