Capital City Symphony and Cantate Concert Choir unite in the final concert of their seasons. Together, they 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 - almost five years earlier to the day. The powerful spoken words - performed with the ensembles by librettist and spoken word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph - span centuries and genres, serving as a reflection on sacrifice, loss, strength, and a call to action for a better tomorrow.
