UpTempo in Atlanta: A Performance Built for This City
UpTempo is a performing arts organization with deep roots in Atlanta's youth arts and cultural education scene. Known for producing high-energy, purpose-driven events that connect young people with the arts, UpTempo has carved out a distinct identity in Atlanta's entertainment landscape — one built on community, legacy, and the belief that music and performance are vehicles for social change.
Choosing Coretta Scott King as the subject of this tribute is no accident. Atlanta is the birthplace of the civil rights movement, and Coretta Scott King is one of the city's most enduring heroes. Born in Alabama but forever claimed by Atlanta, she carried forward the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with grace, determination, and an unwavering commitment to justice and equality. Her founding of the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, located just miles from Woodruff Arts Center in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood, stands as a permanent monument to her life's work.
For Atlanta's young people, a tribute to Coretta Scott King is not just a history lesson — it is a living, breathing connection to the city's identity.
