Malcolm Merriweather, conductor

Program:
BONDS  Montgomery Variations
PAUL MORAVEC  Sanctuary Road
”This evocative program shines a light on the harrowing journeys made by countless souls along the Underground Railroad, as told through Paul Moravec’s Sanctuary Road. Drawing from the poignant accounts recorded by abolitionist William Still, this oratorio stands as a profound homage to the indomitable spirit and bravery of those who sought freedom from slavery. Complementing this narrative, Margaret Bonds’ Montgomery Variations pays homage to Martin Luther King Jr. and the pivotal civil rights movement, weaving a musical tapestry that speaks to the heart of the struggle for justice and equality.”

A fitting segue to Mozart’s Requiem, the Austrian composer’s epic last work. This contemplative program offers the chance to dive into memories that require extra time and space.”
