BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Alabama Symphony's annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is a casual affair, where the formalities and taboos of concert etiquette are often relaxed a bit. Gospel, jazz and spirituals, and sometimes a premiere, usually balance out the solemnity of the occasion. This year's “Reflect and Rejoice” event at the Alys Stephens Center fit the pattern, mixing music by UAB music professor Henry Panion III, William Grant Still, Atlanta composer Alvin Singleton and one of Dr. King's favorite composers, Ludwig van Beethoven.
