Adolphus Hailstork — Done Made My Vow: A Ceremony
This multimedia evening delving into the Black American experience features staging directed by Tazewell Thompson and video by Rasean DavonteĢ Johnson. Still's Symphony No. 2, "Song of a New Race," celebrates the Black American as, in the composer's words, "a totally new individual." Adolphus Hailstork's oratorio Done Made My Vow: A Ceremony honors the countless Black Americans who have faced "the bench of injustice, and, by doing so, changed a nation." It all begins with the world premiere of Courtney Bryan's Gathering Song, with Ryan Speedo Green singing Thompson's libretto. Leslie B. Dunner conducts.
