This is the culminating visit of Akropolis’ year-long residency with the music students at MLK! At this presentation, Akropolis will showcase the compositions created by MLK high school students this year for their fellow music and arts classmates. Videos of these premieres will be released online throughout the summer!

Since 2017, Akropolis has helped over 30 Detroit students write pieces of music, which they premiere and record during Together We Sound. The following students worked with Akropolis in the 21/22 academic year and will have their new piece performed and recorded during the 2022 Together We Sound Festival!
