Offering a mix of contemporary and classical composers, this concert honors Black History Month by centering three major works by African American composers. Taking its inspiration from the New Testament gospels and Haydn’s Seven Last Words, Joel Thompson’s haunting and beautiful Seven Last Words of the Unarmed (for chorus and orchestra) is the centerpiece of this program, foregrounding the difficult and painful feelings surrounding race and law enforcement.
