ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) -- Choirs from three eastern Kentucky schools will play Carnegie Hall in New York in January.

The singers from Paul G. Blazer High School in Ashland, Boyd County High School and Russell High School are set to play a January 18th performance during a tribute to slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

The Daily Independent in Ashland reported that the students will perform, then have time to explore the city.

Paul G. Blazer High School music director Karen Hopkins says students auditioned for spots in the choir and each will pay about $1,500 for the trip.
