Gonzaga University's Concert Choir presents a live streamed performance of music that evokes hope in the midst of adversity. Your spirit will be uplifted by Andrea Ramsey's "Hope Lingers On" and Moira Smiley's "Stand in that River." Music by seminal American composers Nathaniel Dett and Ysaÿe Barnwell speaks to our times and celebrates their leading musical voices as black composers. Jordanian-Palestinian composer Shireen Abu-Khader's arrangement of "Lao rahal soti," sung in Arabic, remembers those whose voices have fallen silent but remain with us in memory. Shawn Kirchner's re-envisioning of "America the Beautiful" acknowledges the complex past of this land we call America in an aspirational message of responsibility and hope.
Attendees are encouraged to have a smartphone nearby as they watch: opportunities for interactive audience responses will be facilitated on www.Slido.com
