Capital City Symphony and Cantate Concert Choir unite to share a musical meditation on times of trouble in our human experience and the path to healing. Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms depicts life-affirming hope for brotherhood and peace, and Carlos Simon’s Brea(d)th provides a “moving, yearning, admonition for repair” in response to the death of George Floyd. The powerful spoken words – performed by librettist Marc Bamuthi Joseph – reflect on sacrifice, loss, and strength and call for a better tomorrow.
Cantate seeks to maintain an equitable, safe and welcoming environment for all who participate in its various activities and functions, both in-person and virtually. We welcome musicians and volunteers of diverse backgrounds, abilities, and creeds, and strive to create an inclusive and creatively stimulating community. Therefore, discrimination and harassment of any nature will not be tolerated.
