Two devastating choral masterworks confront America's twin crises: Jamie Powe's "Gun Mass" — a liturgical lament for victims of school shootings — and Joel Thompson's "Seven Last Words of the Unarmed" — setting the final words of Black men killed by police. While our leaders spew hatred and refuse reform, these works demand we confront uncomfortable truths about gun violence and police brutality. This isn't about comfort — it's about awakening. This isn't entertainment — it's a moral reckoning. When institutions fail, art becomes resistance. Join us for a concert that transforms witnesses into advocates, silence into action, and complicity into courage.

We are excited to be collaborating with Gays Against Guns, an inclusive, direct-action group of LGBTQ+ people and their allies committed to nonviolently breaking the gun industry's chain of death.
